Can you collect invertebrates in Kansas? In Ohio, where I lived until very recently, all of the bivalves were off limits. It was illegal to mess with them in any way.
Erica, you can oly collect (keep) mussels in Kansas if you have a collecting permit. These were collected, tagged, and released for a study we are doing on cylindrical papershells in Kansas. You can go "mussel grubbing" and release everything you catch just as long as you have permission on the property. I believe dead shells of all species can be kept as well regardless of conservation status.

This varies some by state, I know that in some cases, it is illegal to possess any... including relic shells.

Yes, in Kansas you can collect shells but in Missouri you cannot keep any shells unless you have a collecting permit. You cannot keep shells of species of conservation concern even if you have a collecting permit.

That is a very unscupltured Quadrula. Pretty neat. Even when that small I've only seen them heavily sculptured.
Or is that an alberti? Only seen a few large shells and that just came to mind.

Caught my attention too, although I'm pretty sure that's a Q. quad. Definitely not C. aberti.
Those pigtoes in the background of the first pic are pretty interesting too. Don't know why you'd focus on the cylindrical mudhoneys for your topic

Yes, in Kansas you can collect shells but in Missouri you cannot keep any shells unless you have a collecting permit. You cannot keep shells of species of conservation concern even if you have a collecting permit.
Or, alternately, in Missouri, "With a fishing license, you may take five non-endangered mussels a day for your use." (MDC website at this page: http://mdc.mo.gov/co...ussels?page=0,4). Possession limits are double daily limits and 2 shell halves count as one mussel, even if the shells are empty.
Gotta love the laws!
