Amphistegina lessonii and Amphistegina lobifera shell microstructure, texture and twinning pattern reflect resilience to cadmium and lead

Abstract Biologically secreted carbonates are archives of environmental conditions, as shell and skeletal element minerals record chemical and physical signals of the ambient environment. We report the impact of Cd2+ and Pb2+ on foraminiferal shell crystal structural and organizational characteristi...
