Oxygen Isotopes in Meteorites
Oxygen isotope abundance variations in meteorites are very useful in elucidating chemical and physical processes that occurred during the formation of the solar system (Clayton, 1993). On Earth, the mean abundances of the three stable isotopes are O: 99.76%, O: 0.039%, and O: 0.202%. It is conventional to express variations in abundances of the isotopes in terms of isotopic ratios, relative to ...
متن کاملMolluscan shell evolution with review of shell calcification hypothesis.
Biomineralization research on mollusc shells has mostly focused on nacre formation. Chitin, silk fibroin protein, and acidic macromolecules are important components for shell formation. Although the principle concept behind shell calcification was developed many years ago, the individual components have not been well scrutinized. Besides that, Mollusca are the second largest invertebrate phylum...
متن کاملComparison of aragonitic molluscan shell proteins.
Acidic macromolecules, as a nucleation factor for mollusc shell formation, are a major focus of research. It remains unclear, however, whether acidic macromolecules are present only in calcified shell organic matrices, and which acidic macromolecules are crucial for the nucleation process by binding to chitin as structural components. To clarify these questions, we applied 2D gel electrophoresi...
متن کاملCarbon isotopes in mollusk shell carbonates
Mollusk shells contain many isotopic clues about calcification physiology and environmental conditions at the time of shell formation. In this review, we use both published and unpublished data to discuss carbon isotopes in both bivalve and gastropod shell carbonates. Land snails construct their shells mainly from respired CO2, and shell δC reflects the local mix of C3 and C4 plants consumed. S...
متن کاملShell Gaps in the Sn Isotopes
The exploration of nuclear shell structure is still a subject of great current interest, particularly in view of new information gathered by experiments with radioactive beams, see e.g. [1, 2]. A key feature are shell closures relative to the appearance of magic or semi-magic nuclei. A theoretical exploration of the proton shell closure in Pb isotopes was published in [3]. Here we want to prese...
