Fig. 3From: Reconstruction of ocean environment time series since the late nineteenth century using sclerosponge geochemistry in the northwestern subtropical PacificScanning electron micrograph images of sclerosponges. A well-preserved pristine calcite skeleton is visible. A and B Macrostructural organization of high-Mg calcite skeleton with vertical calicles subdivided by horizontal tabulae. C and D Lamellar microstructure of high-Mg calcite skeleton, the secondary structure of the tabulae and coatings of the tubes, randomly oriented single crystals. E and F Spicular skeleton and spiraster microscleresBack to article page
