My name is Alexander Medvedev. I am from Moscow City, Moscow, Russia. I am a shell collector and love to travel. I specialize in collecting cone shells, the family Conidae. I am contributing to Wikipedia by uploading photographic images of some of my cone shells. I have a website at http://www.coneshells-am.ru/ , entitled Cone Shells - Knights of the Sea. My yellow labrador retriever (my Shell dog) accompanies me in my travels. See, The Cone Collector, Vol. 12 (October 2009), Who's Who in Cones article at: http://www.coneshells-am.ru/files/file/08_2010_19_01_50_1280761310.pdf
