Understanding Conchometry: A Key Tool in Malacology
A conchometer is an instrument used to measure the size and shape of sea shells. It is typically a calibrated frame with a set of pins or points that are used to record the dimensions of the shell. The conchometer is commonly used in malacology, the study of mollusks, to classify and identify different species of sea shells based on their morphology.
