Weddellite in a Marine Gastropod and in Antarctic Sediments

The calcium oxalate dihydrate mineral, weddellite, has been identified in a microarchitectural component of the gizzard plates from the deepwater gastropod Scaphander cylindrellus . This is the first indication of nonpathologic precipitation of this mineral by an animal species. A new occurrence of...
