Melanoides cf. turricula (I. Lea, 1850) Fawn Melania |
||
| Upon their initial collection at a pond in northern St. Johns County at Fruit Cove, Florida during October, 2006, the snails were believed to be Melanoides turricula - a large Thiarid species previously found elsewhere in Florida. However, closer examination of the shells by Dr. Fred Thompson (Curator of Malacology at the Florida Museum of Natural History, Gainesville) discounted that specific identification. In December, 2006 the species was also found in a small lake in the Arlington Section of Jacksonville, Duval County, Florida. The shells remain unidentified at the present time (11/19/2006). | ||
