Exploration of the relationship between microbial dendritic shrub structures and formation of aragonitic botryoidal cement

<p>The objective of this project was to test the hypothesis that micritic, microbial, dendritic shrub structures transition into aragonite botryoids by serving as an organic substrate that promotes the initiation of aragonite crystal precipitation. Samples for this study were taken from three...
