Freshwater snails » Shell shape » Shell taller than wide » Dextral shell » Family: Lymnaeidae (1) » Lymnaeidae with short spires (2) » Lymnaeidae with tall spires (3) » Lymnaeidae with tall spires (4) »
The shells of this family do not possess an operculum. Many empty freshwater snail shells may be found without an operculum. If your specimen does not have an operculum and does not match the shape and / or descriptions on the following pages, please go back and try the group with an operculum.
Is the aperture about half the height of the spire (or slightly less) AND does the spire taper evenly towards the apex like the shells above?
Or is the aperture greater than the height of the spire, like one of the shells below?
