Florida Sandshell

Lampsilis floridensis, commonly known as the Florida sandshell, is a species of freshwater mussel, an aquatic bivalve mollusk in the family Unionidae, the river mussels. Native to the southeastern United States, it is found in rivers, streams, and lakes across Florida, parts of Georgia, and Alabama. Historically, it was sometimes confused with Lampsilis teres, but recent taxonomic revisions have confirmed its status as a distinct species.
