	Anodonta Wahlamatensis The winged floater (''Anodonta nuttalliana'') is a species of freshwater mussel, an aquatic bivalve mollusk. Taxonomy The species was first described in 1838 by Isaac Lea, along with two similar-looking shells from one location in the lower Willamette River: '' A. oregonensis'' (Oregon floater) and ''A. wahlamatensis'' (Willamette floater). The latter is currently treated as synonymous with ''A. nuttalliana''. Description The shell of the winged floater is quite thin, and elliptical or ovate, with the back dorsal showing the prominent "wing" shape. The nacre Nacre ( , ), also known as mother-of-pearl, is an organicinorganic composite material produced by some molluscs as an inner shell layer. It is also the material of which pearls are composed. It is strong, resilient, and iridescent. Nacre is ... has white or blue-tinged tone. Individuals may reach a size of up to . Distribution and habitat The winged floater lives buried in the sandy or muddy bottom of lakes and riv ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Anodonta Cataracta ''Pyganodon cataracta'', formerly ''Anodonta cataracta'', is a species of large freshwater mussel, an aquatic bivalve mollusc in the family Unionidae, the river mussels. Its common name is the eastern floater. Subspecies ''Pyganodon cataracta'' subsp. ''cataracta'' ''Pyganodon cataracta'' subsp. ''marginata'' Description ''Pyganodon cataracta '' can reach a size of . Distribution and habitat This mussel is present in freshwater habitats along the Atlantic coast of North America, ranging from Alabama to some parts of Canada. It is typically found in soft-bottomed ponds, rivers and small lakes. Taxonomy Like many other of its relatives, the eastern floater was thought to be in the genus ''Anodonta'', but was since moved to other genera such as '' Pyganodon'', ''Utterbackia'', and more.https://www.molluscabase.org/aphia.php?p=taxdetails&id=1351487 References Richard A.
