Fossil Muricidae Literature References


Some of the references below are devoted to fossil Muricidae; others primarily discuss modern species but still have relevance to the study of fossils.  I have also included some "minor" references, such as species lists from various localities, since this type of information often comes in handy.  Books or articles for which I have copies in my personal collection are designated with a "Coll." at the end.  This list will be growing as I have time to add more references.  Please check back later, and feel free to suggest additions!
