we have in our collection some arrowheads made of what we believe to be freshwater pearl mussels (<i>Margaritifera margaritifera</i>) and are looking for other similar findings. Does anyone know of or have any litterature on mollusc projectile points? We are particularely interested in freshwater mussels, but information on any type of molluscs are very welcome.<br>
<br> Thanks in advance,<br> Jørgen</font><br><pre cols="72">--
