Diagenetic isotope exchange in biocalcites for paleoclimate reconstruction

The oxygen isotope compositions of fossil biocalcites, such as foraminifera, bivalves, brachiopods, and belemnites have allowed for reconstructions of sea surface and deep ocean temperatures throughout the Phanerozoic and constitute the most important reco ...

First paleoproteome study of fossil fish otoliths and the pristine preservation of the biomineral crystal host

Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski, Jinming Guo

Otoliths are calcium carbonate components of the stato-acoustical organ responsible for hearing and maintenance of the body balance in teleost fish. During their formation, control over, e.g., morphology and carbonate polymorph is influenced by complex ins ...

A modern scleractinian coral with a two-component calcite–aragonite skeleton

Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski

One of the most conserved traits in the evolution of biomineralizing organisms is the taxon-specific selection of skeletal minerals. All modern scleractinian corals are thought to produce skeletons exclusively of the calcium-carbonate polymorph aragonite. ...

From the product to the process: Fine-scale skeletal structures of scleractinian corals and their relevance to biomineralization models, geochemical sampling strategies, and phylogenetic reconstructions

Anders Meibom, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski

Interpretation of biomineralization processes based solely on the end product - the skeleton - may seem abreakneck task. This is because the biologically controlled mineralization involves cascades of intermediatephases and the activity of a myriad of orga ...

Reverse-engineering the locomotion of a stem amniote

Auke Ijspeert, Kamilo Andres Melo Becerra, Tomislav Horvat, Konstantinos Karakasiliotis

Reconstructing the locomotion of extinct vertebrates offers insights into their palaeobiology and helps to conceptualize major transitions in vertebrate evolution. However, estimating the locomotor behaviour of a fossil species remains a challenge because ...

Structural description of surfaces and interfaces in biominerals by DNP SENS

David Lyndon Emsley, David Benjamin Roger Antoine Gajan

Biological mineralized tissues are hybrid materials with complex hierarchical architecture composed of biominerals often embedded in an organic matrix. The atomic-scale comprehension of surfaces and organo-mineral interfaces of these biominerals is of para ...

Bioethanol Production from Sugarcane Green Harvest Residues Using Auxin-Assisted Pretreatment

Edgard Gnansounou, Jegannathan Kenthorai Raman

Bioethanol and biochemicals from agriculture residues are key alternative for transport fuels and fossil chemicals to environmental impact mitigation and rural economy. In biofuels and biochemicals production, pretreatment is the crucial and energy demandi ...

Amorphous CaCO3: Influence of the Formation Time on Its Degree of Hydration and Stability

Francesco Stellacci, Esther Amstad, Camelia Borca, Huachuan Du, Mathias Steinacher, Anna Murello

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is one of the most abundant biominerals that is prevalent in rocks and often used as a structural material in marine animals. Many of these natural CaCO3-based materials display excellent mechanical properties that are difficult t ...
