Definition
A fossil of a conch shell or any fossil shell-bearing organism.
Etymology
From 'conch' with the suffix '-ite' (indicating a fossil). Used in paleontology and geology.
Kelly Says
Conchites are like time capsules—when a conch dies and gets buried, it can preserve the shape for millions of years, and paleontologists use these shells to figure out what ancient oceans were like and how climate has changed.
