Biomphalaria aff. tenagophila do Sítio Arqueológico do Corondo, São Pedro da Aldeia, RJ

This study identified the Planorbidae shells from Corondó Archaelogical Site, RJ, as Biomphalaria aff. tenagophila. This Site was dated from 3000-4000 year BP (C-14). It is thought that the shells were transported by hunters-collectors who lived in the area. In constrast to B. tenagophila, now living in areas nearby, the ancient B. aff. tenagophila were wider.
