Crystallographic and chemical signatures in coral skeletal aragonite

GA Farfan, A Apprill, A Cohen, TM DeCarlo, JE Post… - Coral Reefs, 2022 - Springer
Corals nucleate and grow aragonite crystals, organizing them into intricate skeletal
structures that ultimately build the world's coral reefs. Crystallography and chemistry have …

The mineralogy and chemistry of modern shallow-water and deep-sea corals

GA Farfan - 2019 - dspace.mit.edu
I hypothesize that coral mineralogy and crystallography will lend insights into how coral
aragonite crystals form and how sensitive coral aragonite material properties may be to OA …

Frontiers of Coral-Based Sclerochronological Studies in Japan

K Sowa, K Tanaka - Coral Reef Studies of Japan, 2018 - Springer
Corals deposit calcium carbonate (CaCO 3: aragonite) skeletons with paired high-and low-
density band s that reflect past sea surface conditions during their growth. In addition, the …
