conch

n. large sea shell

A conch (pronounced in the U.S.A. as "konk" or "conch"(IPA: )  [1] is one of a group of species of saltwater snail. True conches are marine gastropod mollusks in the family Strombidae, and the genus Strombus. Various other species of large, marine, shelled gastropods are also commonly called "conches", for example the Horse Conch Pleuroploca gigantea and the Chank shell, Turbinella species, but these various other gastropods are not considered true conches and are classified in other taxonomic families. The true conch species within the genus Strombus vary in size from fairly small to very large. Several of the larger species such as Strombus gigas, the pink conch or queen conch, are economically important as food sources. Strombus gigas is also capable of producing (very rarely) a pink, gem quality pearl.
