Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal decomposition of calcite: Mechanisms of formation and textural evolution of CaO nanocrystals
Carlos Rodriguez-Navarro,Encarnación Ruiz-Agudo,A. Luque,Alejandro B. Rodríguez-Navarro,Miguel Ortega-Huertas +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model for the thermal decomposition of calcite was proposed to explain how decarbonation occurs at the atomic scale via a topotactic mechanism, which is independent of the experimental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The eggshell: structure, composition and mineralization
Maxwell T. Hincke,Yves Nys,Joël Gautron,Karlheinz Mann,Alejandro B. Rodríguez-Navarro,Marc D. McKee +5 more
TL;DR: Eggshell microstructure and ultrastructure is reviewed, and the results of recent genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic analyses of the chicken eggshell matrix are reviewed to draw attention to areas of current uncertainty such as the potential role of amorphous calcium carbonate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterially mediated mineralization of vaterite
Carlos Rodriguez-Navarro,Concepcion Jimenez-Lopez,Alejandro B. Rodríguez-Navarro,Maria Teresa Gonzalez-Muñoz,Manuel Rodriguez-Gallego +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) observations point to polymorph selection by physicochemical (kinetic) factors (high supersaturation) and stabilization by organics, both connected with bacterial activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of the microstructure on the shell strength of eggs laid by hens of different ages.
TL;DR: In general, eggshells from aged hens had a lower breaking strength and showed a greater variability in their structural properties such as thickness, grain morphology and crystallographic texture, which could be due to changes in the organic matrix of the eggshell associated with ageing of the hens.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term effects of lead poisoning on bone mineralization in vultures exposed to ammunition sources.
Laura Gangoso,Pedro Alvarez-Lloret,Alejandro B. Rodríguez-Navarro,Rafael Mateo,Fernando Hiraldo,José A. Donázar +5 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the existence ofLong-term effects of lead poisoning, which may be of importance in the declines of threatened populations of long-lived species exposed to this contaminant.
