Univalves - Common Slipper Shell




Presently, the only shell available in the book(s) I have on hand, categorizes a similar shell (all white in coloration), under "Other Univalves".

It is listed as the Common Slipper Shell, Crepidula fornicata, measuring .75 -2" and is found from Canada to Florida, to Texas.
