Calcium Carbonate Crystallization and Inhibition

In one ear …︁ : The outer shape and inner architecture of individual particles of a complex calcite–gelatine composite resemble the known characteristics of biogenic otoconia ("ear dust"; see picture). The relationships between the morphology of artificial and biogenic specimens are discussed.
