Abstract: The shells of the bivalves Glycymeris glycymeris and Glycymeris nummaria are widely used for environmental studies. They consist of aragonite and comprise four different microstructures and textures from outer to inner shell surfaces: crossed-lamellar, myostracal,… read more here.

Abstract: This study focuses on the mollusc Glycymeris, which is commonly used to date raised marine deposits through amino acid racemisation (AAR). We examined the effect of bleaching and heating on the amino acid composition and… read more here.
