This report on man's uses of shells is a "continuing" work.  It never will be finished, for just as today becomes the past and tomorrow becomes the present, man's uses of molluscs and their shelly homes, is boundless!  I have tried to include enough information here and elsewhere on the site, so that you the student can write your own report or that you the educator can pick and choose the information needed to develop a lesson plan suitable to your class or youth group.  I encourage you to go to the books and sites that I have used in helping to develop this report (which are listed at the bottom of the page), and in the links section (available soon!).  There is a wealth of information out there and I have just touched the surface.

     I would advise that you periodically check back to this report, as new information will be added as it comes up!  If you have information or suggestions that you think would benefit this report, please feel free to contact me at any time.
