  2. Calcite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcite

    Calcite is a carbonate mineral and the most stable polymorph of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3). It is a very common mineral, particularly as a component of limestone. Calcite defines hardness 3 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, based on scratch hardness comparison. Large calcite crystals are used in optical equipment, and limestone composed ...

  3. Compatibility diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compatibility_diagram

    A three-component compatibility diagram will depict the stable phase of each pure component as the point at each corner of a ternary diagram. Additional points in the diagram represent other pure phases, and lines connecting pairs of these points represent compositions at which the two phases are the only phases present.

  4. Foraminifera test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foraminifera_test

    The test wall is characteristically bilamellar (two-layered) and perforated throughout with small pores. The outer calcite layer of the test wall is referred to as the "outer lamina" while the inner calcite layer is referred to as the "inner lining"; this should not be confused with the organic inner lining beneath the test.

  5. Cementation (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cementation_(geology)

    Calcite cement in an ooid-rich limestone; Carmel Formation, Jurassic of Utah. Minerals bond grains of sediment together by growing around them. This process is called cementation and is a part of the rock cycle. Cementation involves ions carried in groundwater chemically precipitating to form new crystalline material between sedimentary grains ...

  6. Aragonite - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aragonite

    Aragonite is a carbonate mineral and one of the three most common naturally occurring crystal forms of calcium carbonate (Ca CO 3), the others being calcite and vaterite.It is formed by biological and physical processes, including precipitation from marine and freshwater environments.

  8. Microbiologically induced calcite precipitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbiologically_induced...

    MICP can be also applied to achieve sequestration of heavy metals and radionuclides. Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation of radionuclide and contaminant metals into calcite is a competitive co-precipitation reaction in which suitable divalent cations are incorporated into the calcite lattice.

  9. Biomineralization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomineralization

    Fossil skeletal parts from extinct belemnite cephalopods of the Jurassic – these contain mineralized calcite and aragonite.. Biomineralization, also written biomineralisation, is the process by which living organisms produce minerals, [a] often resulting in hardened or stiffened mineralized tissues.
