Aragonite Prism−Nacre Interface in Freshwater Mussels Anodonta anatina (Linnaeus, 1758) and Anodonta cygnea (L. 1758)
Electron backscatter diffraction is used to characterize the transition interface between aragonite prisms and nacre in two species of freshwater molluscs, Anodonta anatina (Linnaeus, 1758) and Anodonta cygnea (L. 1758). In the duck mussel, Anodonta anatina, the shell thickness is comprised mainly of nacre with only a thin outer prismatic...Freer, Andy ; Greenwood, Daniel ; Chung, Peter ; Pannell, Claire L ; Cusack, Maggie
