Structure and crystallography of foliated and chalk shell microstructures of the oyster Magallana: the same materials grown under different conditions

Oyster shells are mainly composed of layers of foliated microstructure and lenses of chalk, a highly porous, apparently poorly organized and mechanically weak material. We performed a structural and crystallographic study of both materials, paying attention to the transitions between them. The morph...
