FISHES Malacology –

The scientific study of seashells and the mollusks that create them is called malacology, while the specific study or collection of the shells themselves is known as conchology. These hard exoskeletons are biominerals constructed primarily of calcium carbonate extracted directly from seawater and the animal’s diet.
