1. Calcium Carbonate Structures

   Linked via "acidic proteins"

   Biomineralization and Shell Structures
   Biological systems utilize calcium carbonate to create durable exoskeletons, shells, and skeletal elements across numerous phyla, including mollusks, corals, and coccolithophores. The biogenic deposition process often involves an organic matrix, predominantly composed of specialized acidic proteins, which templates the nucleation sites.
