Since we have been hitting the Strombus gigas recently. Has anyone
noticed a difference between the S. gigas from the Keys and the S. gigas
now available from Haiti? I have a couple S. gigas collected in the
Keys years ago and they have relatively small knobs on the spire whorls
out onto the last whorl, rather than the obvious spines I see on most
shells now offered. Is this just a coincidence or is there really some
variability?
