While we normally have many questions in regards to where species
are found, Jacksonville Shell Club member Harry Lee has solved that
problem for you -- and it can be easily be found on Harry's Northeast
Florida Checklist - either by simply looking at the checklist, or
expending a few seconds to search our pages - it's all there.

Of course, your answer is yes.  Scaphella junonia is found on the
coast of N.E. Florida.  Jacksonville Shell Club Member Charlotte
Lloyd has personally related to me her experiences in regards to collection
of this species, or alternately, Dr. Lee may share the passage which
appears in our upcoming book.
