📝In our latest paper, we talk about how seawater composition (specifically, Mg/Ca ratio) affects mechanical properties of sea urchin spines. Here’s the link: www.nature.com/articles/s43...#echinoderms#biominerals
Calcium-rich seawater affects the mechanical properties of echinoderm skeleton - Communications Earth & Environment
Oceanic chemistry changes have made echinoderm skeletons weaker, making them more prone to damage from physical disturbances, predatory attacks, and taphonomic processes, according to experimental, ge...
