The Lightning whelk is the second largest gastropod found on the islands reaching up to 16” inch in size.

They have dozen or more petite knobs on their body whorl which spirals to their left ... their spire is rearward. The left handed aperture separates them from most other marine snails . Right handed lighting whelks are rare. Color is cream to gray with the younger shells smal

Ever seen a black whelk and wondered why? When shells get buried deep where there’s no oxygen, the minerals stain them dark over time. The same process that turns shark teeth black. This lightning whelk was a pleasant surprise, I love finding the black beauties. 🖤🐚 | Lawren Bagley
