Studies on Shell Formation : VIII. Electron Microscopy of Crystal Growth of the Nacreous Layer of the Oyster Crassostrea virginica

Electron microscope observations have been made by means of the replica method on growth processes of calcite crystals of the nacreous layer of the shell of the oyster, Crassostrea virginica. Layer formation is initiated by the secretion of a conchiolin matrix and the deposition of rounded crystal s...
