Biomineralization: The Major Link between

Life and Geosphere

The Calcified Biominerals in Earth-Science Research

   In addition to their importance as sedimentary contributors, biologically produced minerals appear as major sources of environmental information. As for any question in which ancient biominerals are involved, reliability of measurements carried out in climate change studies depends on understanding of changes that have occurred in the organo-mineral architectures during fossilization processes
