Savannah Lilliput Toxolasma pullus

This tiny mussel is known within the Altamaha River basin only from the lower Ohoopee River, where it occurs around sand bars. Several disjunct populations are known from other areas of the Carolinas and Georgia. It has been recorded from the Tison and Reidsville West quads in Tattnall County.

The drawing is from Conrad, 1836.
