  Conchology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Conchology is the scientific study of shells of mollusks, a branch of malacology.
Conchologists (practitioners of conchology) may study animal shells to gain an understanding of the diverse and complex taxonomy of mollusks, or simply appreciate them for their aesthetic value.
Conchology deals with all mollusk shells; however, squid and other cephalopods do not have outer shells (with the exception of the Nautiloidea), having evolved just to have an internal bone or shell, used for buoyancy or support.
