Biological Control of Ca-Carbonate Crystal Microstructure and Texture: Adapting Crystal Morphology, Orientation, and Arrangement to Biomaterial Function

Biological Control of Ca-Carbonate Crystal Microstructure and Texture: Adapting Crystal Morphology, Orientation, and Arrangement to Biomaterial Function

The mineralized cover of chiton (Polyplacophora) soft tissue consists of aragonite, developed as shell-plates, girdle-scales, and girdle-spicules. This study characterizes crystallographic aspects of the girdle-spicules of the species <i>Ischnochiton rissoi</i>, <i>Rhyssoplax oliva...
