== Versus shell collecting == [[File:Seashell vendor.jpeg|thumb|A vendor in [[Tanzania]] with a variety of large [[seashell]]s for sale]] The terms ''shell collector'' and ''conchologist'' can be regarded as two distinct categories. Not all shell collectors are conchologists; some are primarily concerned with the [[aesthetic]] value of shells instead of their scientific study. It is also true that not all conchologists are shell collectors; this type of research only requires access to private or institutional shell collections. There is some debate in the conchological community, with some people regarding all shell collectors (regardless of motivation) as conchologists.
