This exhibit demonstrates the amazing diversity of marine creatures from the important phylum— the Mollusca. Explore the wide variety of shapes and colors of calcium carbonate skeletons that are made by many, but not all, of these organisms. The biogeochemistry research group in the Department of Geosciences investigates the biochemical processes that control how biomineralized structures are formed. In this remarkable collection you will experience the many shapes and sizes of mollusks from around the globe!
The Biogeochemistry of Earth Processes (bgep) group conducts interdisciplinary research into the physical basis for biomineral formation and the complex patterns of mineralization that are observed in modern and ancient organisms.
