The queen conch gets a lot of popularity, being big and pretty. I glanced at a thriller novel with one on the cover and failed to find any relevance to the plot-it seemed to all be spies shooting each other in China.
For a while there was a cigarette billboard in Greensboro, NC with someone listening to a sinistral queen conch.
