Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) biomineralizing organisms have played major roles in the
history of life and the global carbon cycle during the past 541 Ma. Both marine diversification …

We have compiled stratigraphic ranges of genera of calcareous nannofossils, calcispheres,
planktonic foraminifers, larger benthic foraminifers, corals and rudists bivalves, and species …

Understanding the underlying processes of biomineralization is crucial to a range of
disciplines allowing us to quantify the effects of climate change on marine organisms …

In contrast to abiotically formed carbonates, biogenetic carbonates have been observed to
be nanocomposite, organo-mineral structures, the basic build-blocks of which are particles …

Porous calcium carbonate microspheres (PCMs), fabricated through a facile coprecipitation
method regulated by soluble starch (SS), were used as carrier for prometryn (PMT), a typical …

The chemical composition of foraminiferal calcite reflects seawater variables and is therefore
a popular paleoceanographic tool. The sedimentary record of foraminiferal shell chemistry …

The main aim of this study was to maximize bio-cement (CaCO 3) production through a
waste feedstock of cement kiln dust (CKD) as a source of calcium by deployment of …

The incorporation of iodine into each of the three polymorphs of CaCO 3–calcite, aragonite
and vaterite, is compared using first-principles computational simulation. In each case iodine …

Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) has been identified or inferred to exist in many groups
of marine organisms that produce biominerals widely used as geochemical archives (eg …

The process by which foraminifera precipitate calcite from seawater has received much
attention, in part because a mechanistic basis for empirical calibrations between shell …
