Facts
Gastrocopta procera has a pupa shaped shell that
contains 5 to 6 whorls.
The sutures on their shells are fairly deep and
prominent. Looking
at the front side of the snail, the
G. procera has a
distinct spur that is apparent on the right side of the anulo-parietal
lamella (Burch, John B). The
G. procera is
recognized
by having a much more cylindrical shape and having a tinted lip
with several small teeth.
This snail is endangered due to prairie burns and prairie
cutting which destroys their habitat( Pilsbury, Henry A).
