We welcome you into our ranks. Or perhaps you'll just want to visit our site for a place to learn what a conchologist is, or about shells and the animals that make them. If so, we welcome you as a visitor to the Conch-Net. You never know when we might add a new section or update an old one. If you have email access and are interested in shells, find out about this lively and informative group.
