Introduction
These listings are predominantly from Micronesica, Vol 35-36: The Marine Biodiversity of Guam and the Marianas. Students should refer directly to it. Unconfirmed species may be included here, based upon the first-hand knowledge from Guam Shell Club members. Collectors are encouraged to donate such specimens to a research institution (particularly the University of Guam) so that they may become available as a catalogued, vouchered specimen.
To become the intended identification resource, species pages are slowly being added. A listing of these is now available on the Species ID page. There is also a page for Unidentified species.
I'd also like to acknowledge the work of the late Alex Roth who was a long-time member of the Guam Shell Club. His past lists, including an updated (2000) though unpublished version, are still quite useful. In many respects, these pages are a continuation of his past efforts and, in that light, I dedicate these pages in his memory.
