There wasn't any original post that went into details of the shells. In fact, I've never, ever seen any creationists give any details. It turns out that the details are damaging to the idea of a flood and it should be no surprise that I am leading the literalists (d yankee specifically) in that direction.
Yup. That's been my experience too.
In fact, as far as this argument goes the creationists are much, much farther behind the times than they usually are. Leonardo da Vinci figured out that those shells were not the result of any flood, global or local, in the 15
th century, because their arrangement and condition were not compatible with flood transport. See
