Gyrotoma
''Gyrotoma'' is a genus of extinct freshwater snails with an operculum, aquatic gastropod mollusks in the family Pleuroceridae. This genus was endemic to the USA. All of the species within this genus are presumed extinct. They were native to the main channel of the Coosa River in Alabama, where the last suitable habitat was destroyed by the filling of the reservoir Logan Martin Lake Logan Martin Lake is a reservoir located in east central Alabama on the Coosa River approximately east of Birmingham, Alabama. This reservoir was built in 1965 by Alabama Power Company. The lake, nicknamed Lake of a Thousand Coves by locals, has ... in the mid-1960s. Species Species within the genus ''Gyrotoma'' include: * ''Gyrotoma excisa'' (I. Lea, 1843) - excised slitshell * ''Gyrotoma lewisii'' (I. Lea, 1869) - striate slitshell * ''Gyrotoma pagoda'' (I.

Pleuroceridae
Pleuroceridae, common name pleurocerids, is a family of small to medium-sized freshwater snails, aquatic gilled gastropod mollusks in the superfamily Cerithioidea.These snails have an operculum and typically a robust high-spired shell. Reproduction is iteroparous, and juvenile snails emerge from eggs laid on a firm surface by a gonochoristic female. There is no veliger stage. Distribution As currently defined, this family is confined entirely to eastern North American fresh waters. Similar snails formerly classified with Pleuroceridae, but now assigned to other families are widespread in temperate and tropical parts of Southern and Eastern Asia, and Africa. Most require unpolluted rivers and streams, but a few are adapted to living in lakes or reservoirs. Taxonomy 2005 taxonomy The following two subfamilies have been recognized in the taxonomy of Bouchet & Rocroi (2005): * Pleurocerinae P.

Coosa River
The Coosa River is a tributary of the Alabama River in the U.S. states of Alabama and Georgia. The river is about long.U.S. Geological Survey. National Hydrography Dataset high-resolution flowline dataThe National Map, accessed April 27, 2011 The Coosa River begins at the confluence of the Oostanaula and Etowah rivers in Rome, Georgia, and ends just northeast of the Alabama state capital, Montgomery, where it joins the Tallapoosa River to form the Alabama River just south of Wetumpka. Around 90% of the Coosa River's length is located in Alabama. Coosa County, Alabama, is located on the Coosa River. The Coosa is one of Alabama's most developed rivers. Most of the river has been impounded, with Alabama Power, a unit of the Southern Company, owning seven dams and powerhouses on the Coosa River. The dams produce hydroelectric power, but they are costly to some species endemic to the Coosa River. History Native Americans had been living on the Coosa Valley for millennia bef ...
