Shells from Lake Erie - crow - 04-16-2009 Hi everyone.  I am from Canada and recently bought a place by Lake Erie, so I've been enjoying the beach and finding shells.  Mostly they are freshwater mussels etc but I have two I cannot identify. Sorry the pic is not the best my camera isn't very good.  They are both small-the one on the left is fingernail sized. <img src="http://img22.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hpim1204g.jpg" alt="http://img22.imageshack.us/my.php?image=hpim1204g.jpg" style="border:0" /> Thank you  <img src="images/smiley/smile.gif" alt="" border="0" /> Shells from Lake Erie - crow - 04-16-2009 Thanks for doing that Paul! I'm the same-not much knowledge of freshwater used to collect saltwater shells as a child and have books on those.  I guess freshwater is not so popular there is not much on the net about them. Have a great day happy shelling! Shells from Lake Erie - paul monfils - 04-16-2009 Hi, Yes the picture is not very clear.  I'm not very knowledgeable about fresh water shells anyway, but hopefully someone here is.  I couldn't open the picture by the usual route, but managed to get it open in a roundabout way.  I took the liberty of reposting it in a different format, for anyone else who might not be able to open it above.  Here it is: <a href="http://members.cox.net/mollusca/FWsnails.jpg" target="_blank"><!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://members.cox.net/mollusca/FWsnails.jpg">http://members.cox.net/mollusca/FWsnails.jpg</a><!-- m --></a>
