Hey Dan
Thanks for this page!

In the last 6 years I have finally begun collecting Unionids.  The only near to
Houston collecting I have done is Mustang Bayou in Alvin, near College Station
on the Little Brazos, and Lake Summerville ... and I have yet to ID the
materials.  In recent years I have also acquired old collections materials from
around Houston with no or questionable IDs.

Given the lack of ID, the Unionid exhibit I am currently displaying in the
Brazoria County Fair (in Angleton, Texas) has little or no Houston area
material. (the fair ends 10/21).

Would have been nice to have my act together better for local materials.  I
really need to get working on that while what is left of the faded or bug eaten
labels are still somewhat legible.

Dan, FYI, our Shell Club Meeting is 7/7:30 tonight in the Houston Museum of
Natural Science, downstairs conference room, ... Come on out if you can!

Thanks,
Leslie Allen Crnkovic

Don't know how many people in this group are interested in freshwater mussels.
Anyhow, I've been working on a web page to photographically document all the
species of bivalves that occur in the vicinity of Houston, TX, which is where I
live.  Here is my web page:
http://www.io.com/~danjohns/bivalves/houston_bivalves.html .

At this point I've documented about 40% of the mussels that could occur in this
area.  If any of you are really good at mussels in this area and don't mind
taking a look, I would be happy to hear that something is misidentified.
Thanks.
