Primary protodolomite in echinoid skeletons
August 1, 1969
Protodolomite has been identified in the teeth of Recent echinoids by means of electron microprobe and X-ray diffraction analyses. The analyses demonstrate a high degree of heterogeneity with respect to magnesium carbonate content in these skeletal parts; the entire spectrum of compositions between magnesium calcite and protodolomite was encountered.
