Summary

Triplofusus giganteus (Kiener, 1840) - Florida horse conch (public display, Bailey-Matthews Shell Museum, Sanibel Island, Florida, USA) The gastropods (snails & slugs) are a group of molluscs that occupy marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments. Most gastropods have a calcareous external shell (the snails). Some lack a shell completely, or have reduced internal shells (the slugs & sea slugs & pteropods). Most members of the Gastropoda are marine. Most marine snails are herbivores (algae grazers) or predators/carnivores. From museum signage: "Triplofusus giganteus (Kiener 1840) Horse conch This is the largest gastropod found in the USA and in the entire Atlantic Ocean. It may grow to be 60 cm (24 inches) long. In addition, its celebrity status is enhanced by the fact that it is the official Florida state shell. It can be found living on sand bars and shallow bay areas of Southwest Florida and vicinities. The horse conch is a top predator, feeding on other gastropods, such as lightning whelks, tulips, and fighting conchs." Classification: Animalia, Mollusca, Gastropoda, Neogastropoda, Fasciolariidae More info. at: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triplofusus_giganteus |
