Gastropod Shell Microstructure

Gastropod Shell Microstructure is a biomineralized architectural construct defined by the organized arrangement of calcium carbonate crystals and organic matrix components within the shell of gastropod mollusks, distinguished by taxon-specific ultrastructural patterns such as nacre, prismatic, or crossed-foliated layers that inform phylogenetic, functional, and taphonomic interpretations in paleontological studies.
