A nanocrystalline monoclinic CaCO(3) precursor of metastable aragonite

Despite its thermodynamical metastability at near-surface conditions, aragonite is widespread in marine and terrestrial sediments. It abundantly forms in living organisms, and its abiotic formation is favored in waters of a Mg(2+)/Ca(2+) ratio > 1.5. Here, we provide crystallographic evidence of...
