Physa mezzalirai is a fossil species of extinct air-breathing freshwater snail, an aquatic pulmonate gastropod mollusk in the family Physidae. This species has a small and left-handed (or sinistral) shell, as is always the case in this family. Physa mezzalirai dates from the Senonian (Upper Cretaceous) of the Adamantina Formation (Bauru Group), in São Paulo state, Brazil.[1]
