Leslie 0 Posted May 11, 2007 I'll pass it on to one of our mollusc experts here at the museum. Was the mantle fully extended? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lndr 0 Posted May 12, 2007 I'll pass it on to one of our mollusc experts here at the museum. Was the mantle fully extended? Thanks Leslie, The mantle is fully covering the shell in this shot. The little white dots were raised lumps in the otherwise clear mantle. I forgot to mention the size - around the 10 - 15mm mark. cheers Leander Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave H 0 Posted May 14, 2007 This species is apparently Diminovula punctata, Richard Willan from the NT Museum mentioned to me he had collected specimens from NB previously. I have seen it several times this summer. cheers, Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
