The shells themselves are not cellular, but they are the remains of animals that were indeed cellular. The animals which make the shells are mollusks. Â There are two major groups of shell-bearing mollusks, and a few smaller groups. Â The two main groups are gastropods and bivalves. Â Gastropods are snail-like species which grow in a spiral pattern. Â They include conchs, whelks, abalones, and many different families of snails that live in marine, fresh water, and terrestrial habitats. Â The other major group, bivalves, includes mollusks whose shell is in two separate halves, joined by a hinge. Â They include clams, mussels, scallops, oysters, cockles, and many others. Since mollusks are animals, they are classified into families and species, just like other animals. You can find a lot of additional information at this website:
