Biotic Control of Skeletal Growth by Scleractinian Corals in Aragonite–Calcite Seas

Modern scleractinian coral skeletons are commonly composed of aragonite, the orthorhombic form of CaCO(3). Under certain conditions, modern corals produce calcite as a secondary precipitate to fill pore space. However, coral construction of primary skeletons from calcite has yet to be demonstrated....
