| This empty shell (measuring 61 mm.) was collected by Brian Marshall in shallow water along the shoreline at Big Talbot Island State Park (Nassau Sound) during a low tide during June, 2007. This represents only the third known instance of the species being found in Duval County. The nearest known living population of Melongena corona is in northern Flagler County some 55 miles south. However, a number of empty shells have been found near Vilano Beach (St. Augustine Inlet - St. Johns County) - a location about 30 miles south of Mayport. |
