CRYSTAL GROWTH. “Regulation of calcite growth by coccolithophores is almost as remarkable as the regulation of nucleation. The crystal units…are each single crystals of calcite, and their shapes are radically different from that of inorganic calcite. However, such crystals do not exist in isolation, but are parts of the complete coccolith, and much of the morphology is a product of interaction between adjacent crystals.”
