Margaretifia margaretiferia is an endangered species of mussel in Scotland where it used to be an excellent source for freshwater mussels.

Many species of mussels are doing well in America espcially in the Mississippi river and its major tributaries. Many states have special programs to clean up the mussels' habitats where the mussels are having problems.

I have come to love those little critters, some of them have the most unbelievable nacre colors! The one below is a potamilus purpurtas
