Hi, iam Janette Moorer, Don’t miss me too much.
What Is Conch Made Of? [Solved]
Conch shell is a layered structure. The “skin” is a brownish papery coating called the periostracum, below which is a thin layer of vertically oriented aragonite, a crystalline form of calcium carbonate. Below that layer are three crossed-lamellar layers (outer, middle and inner), which give the shell its toughness.
