Sample Locationat ~ 3500”in rocks, Black Rock Mtn. St Park,, only 14.9 mm this is only the second one ever found, destroys the “sub-species” CountryUSAStateGACountyRabunGeolocation^[1]From Dr. John Cramer: "Checking up I notice that the notes on lot 16527, a Patera clarki clarki, need improvement. GMNH now has just the second specimen of the “subspecies” Patera clarki bradleyi ever found and it is important because it shows that bradleyi is not a proper subspecies but is instead a form caused by injury. The injury extends over only half the shell. Hence it is a Patera clarki clarki afterall. The other specimen, Rev. Bradley's find (1880's?) is, if I remember correctly, is in the Philadelphia museum.
For sure we want the world to know about this special specimen held at the GMNH. The note should do a little bit of bragging on the GMNH holding.
BTW, both specimens of the "subspecies" came from Black Rock Mtn. St. Pk."Collection Date1990-08-01
