[DCRM-L] scallop (?) shell binding

[Deborah J. Leslie]

The only pertinent terms I could find in Ligatus Language of Bindings were "animal materials" and "plant materials": http://www.ligatus.org.uk/lob/node/3169

Love it!!!

The Clark Library has "The Lewis and Clark Exposition in a nutshell " and accordion-folded photo-souvenir book bound into a walnut shell. I didn't add any specific binding terms when I cataloged it, but there's always a chance to proposed something, I guess.

I have at my desk a collection of small seaweed specimens cleverly bound between the two parts of a scallop (?) shell. See:

Are there any established binding terms that would be appropriate for something like this? Are there researchers looking to find novelty bindings?
