Abstract: To the best of our knowledge, there has been no investigation of non-classical crystallization on hydrophobic substrates occurring in natural systems. The work presented here investigates the early growth process of nacreous aragonite crystals. We… read more here.

Abstract: ABSTRACT Pseudo-hexagonal aragonite crystals occur profusely at various locations within the Upper Triassic sequences in Europe, America and Africa. In the Spanish Iberian Basin, they are associated with corrensite and gypsum, which characterize saline mudflat… read more here.
