Isopod - Asellus sp?

Isopod - Asellus sp?
Fontenelle Forest, Bellevue, NE on the shore of Missouri River, Sarpy County, Nebraska, USA
November 9, 2009
Size: approx. 10mm
First photographed in the shallow water at the edge of the Missouri River, then in my hand. It is covered in mud. We think this might be Asellus sp.

Thanks for any help with ID.

neat!
I've never seen anything like that, except at ocean beaches. Now I feel like going down the river and looking. Wonder how common it is, or not.
