A Morphological Characterization of High Yield Chitin from Periwinkle Shells
Journal of Casting & Materials Engineering, 2020 Research on obtaining chitin from periwinkle shell is scarce due to the very low yield of chitin from this kind of shell. Thisstudy reports a method of processing periwinkle shells to obtain high yield, bio-medically suitable chitin. The experimentwas designed using IM and 2M concentrations of HCl for demineralization and a 1M NaOH concentration for ...

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 2, Page 585-599, April 2026.Bioerosional scars made by limpets (Patella) on a cliff in Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland, indicate a Mid‐Holocene RSL of +7.8±0.55 m relative to local mid‐tide level today. This is higher than previous empirical data for the region and extrapolated levels from raised shorelines in Scotland but consistent with some recent GIA models.
