A conch shell is hard, cylindrical and is not jointed. A shrimp shell has many parts that move with the shrimp and provide protection. Additionally, the material that the shells are made of are entirely different. Conch shells are made primarily of a mineral called aragonite. Each layer of aragonite is reinforced by layers of protein. Shrimp shells are made of chitin, the same material insects exoskeletons, crab & lobster shells, and spiderwebs are made of.
