An aragonite sea contains aragonite and high-magnesium calcite as the primary inorganic calcium carbonate precipitates. The reason lies in the highly hydrated...

Aragonite is a carbonate mineral and one of the three most common naturally occurring crystal forms of calcium carbonate (Ca CO3), the others being calcite...

A calcite sea is a sea in which low-magnesium calcite is the primary inorganic marine calcium carbonate precipitate. An aragonite sea is the alternate...
