Yesterday I found what I believe is an adult Mesodon thyroidus on the top leaves of an herby plant (no ID) on a deer trail next to a stream a few miles north of Griffin, GA.  Usual size and color, rather thin shell without a parietal tooth.  I put it in my shirt pocket unexamined.  At home later it had a bit of a crack near the aperture, sort of crackled when I picked it up.  Today it seems to be trying to repair it and has dissolved or eaten (?) a hole in that area.  Does this seem right?  Does anyone know how they go about making repairs?
