Malacology is the study of mollusks, which are the second-largest phylum of animals. Mollusks include; snails, slugs, clams, octopuses and squid.
A chonchologist studies shells, particularly mollusk shells such as snails, clams, and cephalopods. They may focus on the classification, morphology, distribution, and ecology of shells.
Various types of shells can be found in the ocean, including gastropod shells, bivalve shells, and cephalopod shells. These shells are created by different types of marine animals and come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and colors.
Shells themselves are nonliving structures that are produced by living organisms, such as mollusks. Shells are made of calcium carbonate and serve as protective coverings for the organisms that create them.
Calcium are the main composite of shells and bones.
The age of shells found on the beach varies, but they can range from a few days to millions of years old.
Conchology is the study of mollusk shells, therefore a conchologist is someone who studies mollusk shells. Some confusion can arise as malacology is the study of mollusks as whole organisms, while conchology only studies the shells themselves.

There isn't a specific word that means the study of seashells; "conchology" is the study of the shells of molluscs, so that's probably the nearest.
Conchology (note spelling) is the study of mollusc shells. Oncology (note spelling again) is the study of cancer tumours.
Conchology is the branch of biology that specifically studies shells, including their structure, classification, and evolution. It focuses on both living and fossilized shells, encompassing a wide range of mollusk species.

malacologist I think it is conchhologist Its CONCHOLOGIST only one H. ------------------------------- Note: Conchology can be viewed as one aspect of malacology, the study of molluscs. Malacology studies molluscs as whole organisms, not just their shells.
