INHS Malacology Info
Malacology is the study of Mollusks. Malacology differs from Conchology which is the study of shells only. 



Division of Malacology - FLMNH-
Within the broad category of invertebrate zoology, malacology is devoted to the study of mollusks, the second largest phylum of animals in terms of described species.  


Malacology - Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County
The Malacology Department at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County promotes the scientific study, conservation, and aquisition of Recent molluscan species including gastropods (marine, freshwater, terrestrial snails and slugs), bivalves (marine and freshwater clams), cephalopods (octopus, squid, nautilus), chitons, scaphopods (tusk shells), Aplacophora (worm-like mollusks), and Monoplacophora (basal limpet-like snails).


Malacology 
Malacology, the study of mollusks, has been part of the Academy since its founding in 1812. Thomas Say (1787-1834), Isaac Lea (1792-1886), Samuel S. Haldemann (1812-1880), George W. Tryon, Jr. (1838-1888), Henry A. Pilsbry (1862-1957), H. B. Baker (1889-1971), and R. Tucker Abbott are some of the more notable malacologists associated with the Academy.

The International Society for Medical and Applied Malacology is devoted specifically to the concerns of applied malacology, i.e., to medical, veterinary and agricultural malacology. 


Malacology
Malacology is the study of molluscs-invertebrate creatures with soft, unsegmented bodies, many of which house themselves in shells.

I also hope that it will encourage students to seek out a career in malacology and that shell collectors will get more involved and knowledgeable in their hobby.
