Identify the snail shells
What kind of snail do these empty shells belong to? The living snail is a young common garden variety but these empty shells are a lot flatter and have a large indent on the inner side of the spiral. They were found on Auckland’s North Shore in a patch of bare(ish) dirt.

There are some pretty cool snails there and lots of them look like they’ve got disc-shaped shells like these. They look like they carry their shells more horizontally than common garden snails. I couldn’t tell if any were exactly the same but most of the photos are from South Island snails so it’s no surprise.
Those spiky snails rock!
