Abstract

Researchers from various fields, including biologists, physicists, paleontologists, and material scientists, have consistently been attracted by molluscan shells. These shells consist of meticulously arranged collections of calcite or aragonite crystals, displaying a wide range of morphologies and three-dimensional patterns. Biominerals are mineral and organic component containing biogenic mineralized products. Calciumbearing minerals comprise about 50% of biominerals with the most common being polymorphs of calcium carbonate, e.g. calcite and aragonite
