Strombidae

“Strombidae, commonly known as the true conchs, is a taxonomic family of medium-sized to very large sea snails in the superfamily Stromboidea. The term true conchs, being a common name, does not have an exact meaning. It may refer generally to any of the Strombidae but sometimes is used more specifically to include only Strombus and Lambis. The family currently includes 23 extant, and 10 extinct genera.” More Info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strombidae

The 1954 novel Lord of the Flies by William Golding prominently features a conch shell. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_of_the_Flies
