Small-misorientation toughness in biominerals evolved convergently [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The hardest materials in living organisms are biologically grown crystalline minerals, or biominerals, which are also incredibly fracture-tough. Biomineral mesostructure includes size, shape, spatial arrangement, and crystal orientation of crystallites, observable at the mesoscale (10 nanometer - 10 micron).

Evidence for a liquid precursor to biomineral formation [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 The crystals in animal biominerals such as sea urchin spines, mollusk shells, and coral skeletons, form by attachment of amorphous particles that subsequently crystallize. Do these solid amorphous precursor particles have liquid precursors? Polymer-induced liquid precursors (PILP), or prenucleation clusters coalescing into a liquid precursor to calcium
