Still wondering WTH happened to justify a reversal of my edit to Wiki page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulgoraria_daviesi

The Barbenthos project was a privately run marine deepwater bottom-sampling project based at Holetown, Barbados, West Indies -primarily seeking rare molluscan seashells but also assisting researchers from the local Bellairs Research Institute (McGill Univ.) with various offshore tasks of their own.

The project lasted for four years: 1985-1989 and used a converted 19 foot Aquasport work-boat named Barbenthos equipped with a winch and davit for getting various gear and equipment on board after retrieval from depth.

In 1989, a new species of Olivella was named after the project published in La Conchiglia Volume 238-241 with type material deposited at the Zoologisch Museum in Amsterdam. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivella_barbenthos#Etymology
