Elimia gibbera, the shouldered elimia, is a species of freshwater snails in the family Pleuroceridae. This species was endemic to Alabama, the United States, [1] [4] with records from the Coosa River. [3] [2] It is now considered extinct, [1] [2] the attributed cause is land-use change. [5] Already in 1936, Calvin Goodrich wrote that "To a large extent, the goniobasic fauna of the Coosa Biver must be spoken of in the past tense". [3]
