Giant Barnacle Whelk Seashell

Atlantic Whelk seashells (Busycon carica) with natural barnacles are a highly desirable nautical decor item. The shells measure approximately 8-10" and the size, shape, and variety of barnacles will vary from shell to shell... as they do in nature.

The overall appearance is spindle shaped with a convex whorl. This seashell is common from Massachusetts to N.E. Florida in sub-tidal waters to 10 meters.
