Marine bivalve geochemistry and shell ultrastructure from modern low pH environments [PDF]
. Bivalve shells can provide excellent archives of past environmental change but have not been used to interpret ocean acidification events. We investigated carbon, oxygen and trace element records from different shell layers in the mussels Mytilus ...

Optimizing electron backscatter diffraction of carbonate biominerals—resin type and carbon coating [PDF]
Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is becoming a widely used technique to determine crystallographic orientation in biogenic carbonates. Despite this use, there is little information available on preparation for the analysis of biogenic carbonates ...

Determination of aragonite trace element distribution coefficients from speleothem calcite–aragonite transitions [PDF]
The processes that govern the incorporation of (trace) elements into speleothems can often be linked to environmental changes. Although element incorporation into speleothem calcite is now reasonably well understood, current knowledge regarding trace element variability in speleothem aragonite is very limited.

Conellae, enigmatic structures on cephalopod shells—shapes, distribution, and formation [PDF]
Conellae, enigmatic cone-shaped structures which can be found on the surface of internal moulds of cephalopod shells (predominantly of ammonoids), are regarded herein as the product of remote (biologically induced) biomineralization formed in closed-off ...

Post-aragonite phases of CaCO$_{3}$ at lower mantle pressures [PDF]
The stability, structure and properties of carbonate minerals at lower mantle conditions has significant impact on our understanding of the global carbon cycle and the composition of the interior of the Earth.

Nacre Compared to Aragonite as a Bone Substitute: Evaluation of Bioactivity and Biocompatibility [PDF]
Aragonite is a metastable polymorph of calcium carbonate found in mollusk’s shells, appearing in tiles and prismatic columns, cemented in a protein matrix - mainly proteins - that acts as a framework on which the aragonite is nucleated forming nacre ...

Control Strategies in Guanine Biocrystallization
Biological guanine crystals produce spectacular photonic phenomena in animals and hold great promise as new, sustainable optical materials. We review how organisms precisely control the structure, morphologies, and resulting optical properties of these crystals using a set of ingenious ‘design’ strategies, including control of pH, template‐directed ...
