Background:
True conch species are salt water snails which vary in size from small to very large.
Most species live on warm sandy bottoms in tropical waters in Indo-Pacific Oceans, and many are economically important as food sources.
The animal inside the shell is eaten, either raw like oysters, steamed or stir fried.
Conch Shells in History:
In Mayan art large conches were used as paint and ink holders for scribes, as bugles and hand weapons.
