Comments | Submitted via a public report to the PA Fish and Boat Commission. Many shells washed up on lake shore after flooding. Best guess ID by PFBC AIS Coordinator Sean Hartzell, based on morphology in photos. However, the taxonomy of non-native Mystery Snails in the US is ambiguous due to morphological overlap. |
