Shells of the bivalve Arctica islandica are used to reconstruct paleo-environmental conditions (e.g. temperature) via biogeochemical proxies, i.e. biogenic components that are related closely to environmental parameters at the time of shell formation. Se
Functional shell matrix proteins tentatively identified by asymmetric snail shell morphology ArticleOpen access17 June 2020 Introduction The biological exoskeletons are usually composed of highly ordered hierarchical micro- and nanostructures occluded with organic molecules and exhibit superior mechanical, optical...
Bivalve - Mollusk, Shell, Filter Feeder: The bivalve shell is made of calcium carbonate embedded in an organic matrix secreted by the mantle. It has a simple nervous system; the head is absent. The digestive system comprises a complex stomach and a simpl
The organic matrix from the whole shell or individual shell layers of a number of bivalve species from different superfamilies with different shell mineralogies and microstructures was extracted using EDTA to dissolve the powdered mineral. The EDTA-soluble matrix (SM) was separated from the insoluble...
Possible controls on mineralogy by the mantle cells, nature of the extrapallial fluid, nature of the periostracum and the organic matrix of the shell layers are discussed. It is known that environmental factors may modify the basic mineralogy/shell structure pattern within a superfamily. Thus ...

Shell organic matrix is a highly complex substance that contains a mixture of proteins, glycoproteins, lipids, and polysaccharides-chitin (Levi-Kalisman et al., 2001; Pereira-Mouriès et al., 2002; Agbaje et al., 2017, Agbaje et al., 2018). The non-AA organic matrix, e.g., the ...
