Biomineral Reactivity: The Kinetics of the Replacement Reaction of Biological Aragonite to Apatite
We present results of bioaragonite to apatite conversion in bivalve, coral and cuttlebone skeletons, biological hard materials distinguished by specific microstructures, skeletal densities, original porosities and biopolymer contents. The most profound conversion occurs in the cuttlebone of the ceph...
