dendroconchogenesis

A made-up scientific phenomenon in which shells supposedly grow on trees, usually cited when beachcombers need a sarcastic way to tell people to relax about shell collecting.
Before you write me a paragraph about ethics, please study up on dendroconchogenesis and let the shell tree do its thing.
