So for the last 2 week or so I have had this Shell sitting next to me on my Desk.   It is a Larger Shell with a Spiral Spike Pattern on it.   It is about 7 inches long and 4 inches at its widest point.  Its a "Conch Shell" or Eustrombus gigas..this could be one of the Queen Conch Shells.  Its got a very Grainy outter structure, and a couple of cracks along hte spikes.  It weighs about 2 pounds.
    This Shell at one point had a Hermit Crab or a Sea Snail in it.  My guess it was a larger snail because ofhte size of the shell.  The inside of the shell is very smooth!!  I think this will be a fun object to draw, and will help alot with my drawing skills.  I think the form is very Dynamic and Interesting to say the least.. Well im off to bed!!!
