A Trumpet shell, also known as a "trumpet conch" or "Magpie shell," is a marine gastropod mollusk belonging to the family Fasciolariidae. It is characterized by its elongated, conical shape and distinctive spiral ridges, resembling a trumpet. These shells are typically found in warm, shallow waters and are known for their vibrant colors and patterns. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, trumpet shells have been used for decorative purposes and in jewelry-making.
