Environmental and microstructural controls of short-term shell degradation in temperate, macrotidal environments

Depositional conditions early post-mortem influence net shell alteration prior to fossilization. This study assesses the progressive degradation of experimentally deployed Mytilus edulis shells and natural aragonite crystals during 13 months at and 10 - 20 cm below the sediment surface in High- and...
