Mineralogy of cheilostome bryozoans across the Eocene–Oligocene boundary in Mississippi, USA
Different cheilostome bryozoan species construct their skeletons from calcite, aragonite, or a combination of these two minerals. Calcite is the primitive biomineral in cheilostomes, but an increasing number o...
