I read the Ars Technica article about a conch shell that was used about 18000 years ago as a musical instrument: https://arstechnica.com/science/2021/02/listen-to-haunting-notes-from-an-18000-year-old-conch-shell-trumpet/.
Happily, some researchers had recorded three very nice samples of the instrument. I went to the source (https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/7/eabe9510), downloaded the file, chopped it up into samples, fixed the tuning, and turned it into a soundfont.
Check it out! You might enjoy it. It's a cool sound, anyway.
