Mollusk Shell Formation

Mollusk Shell Formation is a biomineralization process in which mollusks secrete calcium carbonate and organic matrix components to construct their protective exoskeletal structures, distinguishing it from other calcification processes by its specific physiological regulation and reliance on marine carbonate chemistry.
