Researchers Stunned by Giant Sighting of Conch Shells in English Waters, Experts Weigh in On Possible Causes
In what is being hailed as the most significant marine discovery of the decade, scientists aboard a research vessel have pinpointed a massive accumulation of conch shells in the southwestern waters of England. Rising to unprecedented heights of up to 6 feet, this astonishing phenomenon has left marine biologist and conservationists scrambling for answers.
According to Mark Taylor, lead researcher with the University of Bristol and a renowned expert on Bivalve molluscs, "This is clearly an extraordinary event, particularly given the species in question. Conch shells seldom exceed 3-4 inches in length, under normal circumstances. To reach such towering heights suggests forces beyond the norm have operated in this region."
Video footage obtained by the media team accompanying the research study shows the massive conches stretching as far as 100 feet across the muddy seafloor. What’s more, early indication suggests the shells’ sudden appearance may be linked with recent changes in water chemistries and tidal current patterns.
Dr. Anne-Marie Goffeny, a marine geologist with the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), posits that shifted sediment transport pathways, connected to a possible climate-sensitive response, could have exacerbated the accumulation. "Water circulation patterns are notorious finicky. If local flows were disrupted, that turbulence could have contributed to deposition of sediment, facilitating exceptional shell growth."
Further monitoring and sampling of the benthic zone is taking place to confirm theories before the scientific community. We will keep you updated in real-time as the tale unfolds.
Search Description: Researchers in England recently discovered an unusual gathering of conch shells measuring significantly larger than normal. Scientific teams are working to decode the possible causes of their growth, which might hint at a climate-induced mechanism.

i played (and won) 12 shifts but i didn't get a single conch shell. the news said that we get a conch for each shift played, did i read that wrong?
