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.
study of plant is called botany study of plants is called zoology
An organic sedimentary rock made of microscopic shells is called limestone. Limestone is mainly composed of calcium carbonate derived from the accumulation of marine organism shells such as shells of foraminifera, coral, and mollusks. Over time, these shells compact and cement together to form solid rock.
well, rodentology is the study of rodents, which I guess is close enough.
Oology is the study of eggs (all eggs as related to biology) Ornithology is the study of birds...so it's gotta be one of those two Oornithology seems like the most balanced answer! but it's not a recognized field of science.
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.
The study of shells is called conchology. Conchologists examine the morphology, classification, and distribution of shells from various species of mollusks. This field of study is important for understanding biodiversity, evolution, and environmental changes over time.
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.
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.
People who collect things from nature are often called naturalists or collectors. They may collect items such as rocks, shells, plants, or insects for study or enjoyment.
Conchology (note spelling) is the study of mollusc shells. Oncology (note spelling again) is the study of cancer tumours.
