Alasmidonta mccordi, the Coosa elktoe, was a
mollusk in the family Unionidae, the river mussels. Because no individuals have been seen recently, it is assumed to be extinct.[citation needed
]
This species was endemic to the Coosa River, and was only known from a specimen collected in St. Clair County, Alabama in shallow, swift water. No specimens have been found since the construction of impoundments on the river.
