Triton Trumpet Shells
We carry the Pacific Triton's Trumpet Shells Wholesale in Bulk and individually hand selected, Charonia tritonis and the Atlantic Triton's Trumpet Shells Wholesale and individually hand selected, Charonia variegat.  If you are a shell collector or decorator, choose one of our hand selected and photographed triton shells. Charonia tritonis, common name the Triton's trumpet or the giant triton, is a species of very large sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusc in the family Charoniidae, the tritons. Reaching up to two feet in shell length this is one of the biggest mollusks in the coral reef. The giant triton is an active predator and is known to aggressively chase its prey.  Triton trumpets are a species of predatory sea snail that eats smaller pray whole and spits out the shells and spikes later.  The common name "Triton's Trumpet" is derived from the Greek god Triton. We carry small tritons from 6 inches up to large tritons 15 inches in size.  This large decorative seashell is creamy white in color with brown or yellow markings.  The mouth has a dark thin inner lip with regularly spaced rich brown ridges. The outer lip is scalloped with about 10 pairs of rib like teeth. The mouth can be orange, pink to off white in color. We have a selection of hand picked beautiful triton's trumpet shells offered for sale to people who would like to see exactly what they are buying.  All of our shells are real - not replicas.  They will have natural imperfections from aging and living in the oceans.
