On a roll

Update - My head is rapidly swelling from having two shell shots on the pop page today 18/5. Given that I've spent the day at home with two vomiting children (one of whom can't seem to stop), this was a real lift to my spirits.

For anyone wondering - this is a marbled cone shell (Conus marmoreus) my grandparents collected. It is a venomous species but apparently not deadly to humans.
Perfect !

This is not a snail? It's too beautiful for that slimy creature! Perhaps it's from the deep?

Beautiful shell !! Reminds me of one of those roll cakes (like a coffee roll or a honey roll).

the shell is lovely, but what i like most about this is the soft tones around it and the lighting which lets you feast on the object itself.
