conches
Large sea shells
Conches is the plural of conch, a large spiral-shelled marine mollusk.
The shell itself is also called a conch, prized for its pink interior and used as decoration, horn, or material for cameos.
She collected conches on the beach.
In the Florida Keys, longtime residents call themselves Conchs.
