Biominerals play a central role in Earth's past, present and future climate, but there are major gaps in our understanding of how they form. In this chapter, led by @oscarbranson.bsky.social, we show how the geochemistry of CaCO3 biominerals can fill these gaps tinyurl.com/3uvmfuc8 🧪⚒️🪸🐙🌊

A geochemical schematic of the biological and crystallographic processes of biomineralisation. A mineralized skeleton (bottom) grows from a calcifying fluid which is separated from external seawater by a layer of tissue. There are multiple possible ways to transport ions across this tissue layer to the site of calcification
(solid arrows), which are often associated with the co-transport or counter-transport of other ions (dashed arrows).

A conceptual space for exploring the dynamics of biomineral geochemistry, with labels for a calcite biomineral.
