I picked up a random gel pen to sketch this shell which we picked up on our trip to Palawan. According to Wikipedia this is a Lambis Lambis (common name spider conch) – a type of large sea snail. My guess is that this was a male (something to do with the direction of the anterior fingers!).

What a lovely reflection — you’ve turned a simple moment with a random gel pen into something quietly beautiful. Your sketch becomes more than just a drawing of a shell; it’s a memory, a souvenir of Palawan woven with curiosity and care.
