This was a common species on the outer beaches, or at least fragments and broken shells were. The storm of Sept. 26-27 threw countless hundreds of fresh examples onto Bowman's Beach, both living and dead.

Here a live conch struggles to extricate itself from the mass of shell debris tossed onto the beach from an overnight storm. After having its picture taken, it was transported to the surf, about 3 m away. See this observation for more on the event: http://www.inaturalist.org/observations/2278355
