The conch refers to the animals in the mollusk phylum Gastropoda Osteoaceae, and there are more than 70,000 species of conch in the world. There are many varieties of conch living in China, such as fragrant snail, red snail, Tuo's snail, veined red snail, single-toothed snail, flat jade snail, pseudo-purple jade snail and so on, all of which can be seen. These different varieties of conch have certain differences in appearance and distribution, and are not identical.

Common varieties of conch:

1. Cone snail: The body shape of this conch is relatively long and thin, showing a spiral shape from top to bottom, and the meat inside is naturally spiral-shaped. They have very pointed tails and small openings.

This kind of conch is especially abundant in the southern region of China, such as Taiwan Province, Fujian Province and other provinces.

2. Tuo's snail: This kind of conch is also called "glass cow", "glassmaker", etc., their shell is very thick, and the surface is relatively smooth. The lower part of the shell is conical, and the tower is lower.

3. Flat jade snail: The shell of this kind of conch is hemispherical, and the opening is relatively wide. Their shell is very smooth and has visible growth lines on the surface. They are widely distributed in our country and are distributed in many provinces.

4. Pseudo-purple snail: The common name of this conch is called "shampoo", which is a relatively small conch, and the height of the shell is only about 6 cm. Their shells are thinner, but very hard.

The conch belongs to the mollusk gastropod, phylum molluscs. There are more than 70,000 species of shellfish in the world, and the marine species can be commonly known as sea snails.

Like other animals, mollusks such as conch have adapted to a kaleidoscopic environment. From rocks washed by the sea day and night to the dark and muddy depths of the sea, habitats of all forms have their own special mollusks. Tides affect the characteristics and distribution of mollusks that grow near the sea, as do the characteristics of the geological surface on which they live.

However, the food provided by sufficient sunlight is more important. Molluscans are best suited to inhabit the tropics, so the variety of sea shells in this area is breathtaking. Coral is the home of brightly colored snails, treasure snails, and vortex snails; In the mangrove forests, oysters live and live on their roots, stinging snails like to cling to branches and leaves, and crab snails crawl quietly on the mudflats.

Of course, the temperate sea will also be an eye-opener for collectors. The beach is a haven for many bivalves and burrowing gastropods such as the snail. At the mouth of the river, mud and sand are mixed, creating an environment where food is abundant, and large numbers of birdtail clams are often found.

The rocky shore is a great hunting ground for gastropods, which cling firmly to the rocks.

There are more than 100,000 species of gastropod alone.

The types of conch include general taro snail, Longgong Weng Rong snail, scarlet sleeve phoenix snail, phoenix snail, weaving snail, large loquat snail, nautilus snail, Wanbao snail, French snail, oblique spiral spiral, equiangular spiral spiral, large conch, spiral snail, fragrant snail, red snail, etc. The conch is a mollusk gastropod, shellfish are mainly divided into five outlines, there are more than 70,000 species in the world, and the marine species can be commonly known as conch.

The conch shell edge is slightly square in outline, large and thick, the shell is about 10 cm high, and the spiral layer is 6 grades. Most of them belong to mollusk gastropods, which are extremely small in number and extremely rare. It is more fertile in the coastal deep waters of Asia, Africa and the Americas, and began to flourish in the Middle and Late Cambrian, and a large number of radiation evolved in the Early Ordovician, and many new genera and species appeared, which were widely distributed in the coastal deep waters of Asia, Africa, America, Europe and Oceania.
