Conch-net

In these pages you'll find articles about shells from the printed publication, American Conchologist. Then there are frequently asked questions about Mollusks, a very helpful News of New Species, and a Kids' section. The site is a bit tricky to navigate but there is lots of information in the site and in its links. In the kid section, take a look at the quiz. Great photos too.
