Should this redirect to Dog Whelk? If no one objects, I'll do that tomorrow or the next day. Jwrosenzweig 00:40, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

One more chance....I'll redirect tomorrow unless someone can tell me I'm wrong and these aren't the same beasties. :-) Jwrosenzweig 23:19, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Maybe merge it with dog whelk...Atlantima 00:54, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Neither, it would be wrong. See List of whelks. Dysmorodrepanis 01:25, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Location

I have seen thousands of these on the coasts of Louisiana and Texas, so I removed the sentence about their locality being only from Cape Cod to Florida in the USA. I will replace it as soon as I get a reference for a better statement. --DanielCD 16:33, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pic

I added a pic of a whelk shell I found. It's not the greatest, but it's better than no pic at all. Anyone who has a better pic is welcome to replace it. --DanielCD 01:56, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

DanielCD, thanks for the picture. : - ) FloNight talk 02:26, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merger

I don't think we need to merge this with the List of Whelks. We need an article on whelks in general. Perhaps the list should be moved here. --DanielCD 20:47, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

I totally agree! Do not merge. Wbroun 18:04, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
I moved the "List of Whelks" material here. I think it all belongs in the same article. --DanielCD 22:42, 5 December 2006 (UTC)


under the cooking section: you can find them in just about any restaurant? uh, really?
