Marine bivalve shell geochemistry and ultrastructure from modern low pH environments: environmental effect versus experimental bias
Bivalve shells can provide excellent archives of past environmentalchange but have not been used to interpret ocean acidification events.We investigated carbon, oxygen and trace element records from differentshell layers in the mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis combined withdetailed investigations o...

Bivalve shells can provide excellent archives of past environmentalchange but have not been used to interpret ocean acidification events.We investigated carbon, oxygen and trace element records from differentshell layers in the mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis combined withdetailed investigations of the shell ultrastructure.

Most prominently, the shells recorded the shock oftransplantation, both in their shell ultrastructure, textural andgeochemical record. Shell calcite, precipitated subsequently underacidified seawater responded to the pH gradient by an in part disturbedultrastructure.
