Conch-A-Bunga!!! That’s a humongous HORSE CONCH!<\/p>\n

I just got this note from Kelly…..<\/p>\n

“Hi Pam, I found this 15 inch FL horse conch recently at Honeymoon Island State Park in Dunedin and 2 minutes later while jumping for joy my friend Linda found a 10 inch one. It was high times at low tide for sure.\u00a0 Kelly”<\/em><\/p>\n

This is a pretty rare shell to find on our islands (it’s still not on the Bailey Matthews Shell Museum website) especially since it still has some of those fabulous spines still intact. This is gorgeous! Don’t you think? Congratulations!<\/p>\n

Sherrill’s words about her new treasure-<\/p>\n

“……couldn’t believe how fragile it is… almost like a paper fig in thickness, and it looked like it was made of spun sugar! Nature is absolutely amazing. I can’t believe it survived crashing waves and tons of people walking on that pile of shells.<\/em>“<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
