HIGHLIGHTS
- who: J. Lastam from the Department Universidad de Granada have published the article: The unique fibrilar to platy nano- and microstructure of twinned rotaliid foraminiferal shell calcite, in the Journal: Scientific Reports Scientific Reports
- what: The study shows that the globopodial/rhizopodial strands of the POS determine many structural characteristics of the first-secreted crystals: size, shape (Figs 2, 5), crystallographic orientation (Fig 11), and presence/ absence of the 60u00b0/[001] twin orientation (Figs 10, 11). The authors show, in addition, the development of fibrils to irregularly shaped platy crystals that seam outer shell surfaces . . .
