Nacre Compared to Aragonite as a Bone Substitute: Evaluation of Bioactivity and Biocompatibility [PDF]
Materials Research, 2015 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 ...

Reconstruction of deglacial sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific from selective analysis of a fossil coral [PDF]
, 2005 The Sr/Ca of coral skeletons demonstrates potential as an indicator of sea surface temperatures (SSTs). However, the glacial-interglacial SST ranges predicted from Sr/Ca of fossil corals are usually higher than from other marine proxies.

Stabilisation of Aragonite: The Role of Mg2+ and Other Impurity Ions [PDF]
, 2019 Aragonite formation and stabilisation in seawater is still an area of active investigation since the thermodynamically stable product at room temperature is calcite. In this manuscript, purely inorganic systems that were found to stabilise aragonite were
