Perhaps : Klong Yai, Thailand At the river in most Eastern Thailand
north of Ban Khlong Yai
Midas's ear \Mi"das's ear"\ [See Midas <http://onlinedictionary.datasegment.com/word/midas>.] (Zool.)
A pulmonate mollusk (Auricula aurismidae <http://onlinedictionary.datasegment.com/word/auricula+aurismidae> or Ellobium aurismidae
); -- so called from resemblance to a human ear.
[1913 Webster]

I finally found it was a water mollusk not a land snail - so the river
is either the source or
the collector bought it there... ?
