    Biomineralization refers to the natural mineralization processes that produce a wide variety of inorganic structures such as teeth, bones, shells and carapaces. These architectures, which come in a wide range of sizes, are used by an incredible diversity of organisms and serve primarily as skeletons or exoskeletons. Certain other physical functions have also been developed for protection against predators and for their optical or magnetic properties. These...
