Rearing in strontium-enriched water induces vaterite otoliths in the Japanese rice fish, Oryzias latipes

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2023
Sagittal otoliths, typically composed of aragonite, are frequently laid down rather as vaterite during growth in hatchery-reared fish populations. Sagittal vateritization is believed to impair individual hearing/balancing abilities, but the causal ...

Vaterite Microdisc Mesocrystals Exposing the (001) Facet Formed via Transformation from Proto-Vaterite Amorphous Calcium Carbonate

open access: yes, 2020
Vaterite is the thermodynamically least stable phase of the three anhydrous calcium carbonate phases. So far there have been no reports showing the synthesis of pure phase vaterite single crystals exposing the (001) facet without the aid of any additive.
