Biological strategy for the fabrication of highly ordered aragonite helices: the microstructure of the cavolinioidean gastropods

The Cavolinioidea are planktonic gastropods which construct their shells with the so-called aragonitic helical fibrous microstructure, consisting of a highly ordered arrangement of helically coiled interlocking continuous crystalline aragonite fibres. Our study reveals that, despite the high and con...
