Thanks, Tom
All of the specimens, plain yellow or banded,
have white columella and lip, so I will stick
with C. hortensis for I.D.
I have another question that is right up
your alley: what are the species candidates
for Theodoxus found in Denmark? I found
two small black nerites, oblong in profile,
with apparently a shelly white operc.,
no noticeable surface sculpture.
I will have to "de-mummify" them
to get a better look at the opercs.
I found them in Roskilde, not far
from the Vikingeskibsmuseet
(Viking Ship Museum).
I had thought that this was on a long,
shallow bay, but looking at the map now,
it was probably a brackish lake/lagoon.
Yours, Andrew Vik
