Pleistocene/Recent molluscs of eastern N America

[chartiem@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (Chartier Michel)]

Dear colleagues:

	I am participating in the study of a new vertebrate fauna
from latest Pleistocene Champlain Sea sediments of southern Quebec.
In the course of our study, we are reviewing the invertebrate
fauna of the locality in question, and our samples have turned up
several gastropod specimens which we have not been able to relate
to any of the known gastropod taxa from the Champlain Sea.
We think we have at least one new record of gastropod for this
time and place, and not being experts, we would like to consult
with someone who specializes in Pleistocene/Recent gastropods
of the north Atlantic and Arctic in order to identify these
specimens and confirm or refute our suspicions. Any advice
on people to contact and addresses would be very appreciated.
