Shells belonging to the bithyniid genus Neumayria have been recognized amongst a limited non-marine fauna from the marine Norwich Crag Formation at Bulcamp Union Farm, Suffolk. The species involved is uncertain. It is smaller than N. crassitesta (Brömme), the commonest species of the genus found in Quaternary deposits on the continent, and is tentatively referred to N. priscillae Girotti, a species known from the Plio-Pleistocene of Italy, France and The Netherlands.
