Biogenic Design of the Flexible, Resilient, and Hard Mineral Protector in Door Snails. [PDF]

Small Sci
A calcareous door (clausilium) of door snails combines hardness for defense and flexibility for opening and closing. The biogenic design of a clausilium stalk is studied as a unique architecture balancing several properties. Internal observations reveal a double‐layered structure: a hard, dense envelope with aragonite rods and a flexible, low‐density ...
