Statistical analysis of EBSD data confirms pronounced classical and non-classical pervasive crystallographic twinning in rotaliid foraminiferal calcite

Abstract We describe a quantitative statistical and geometric analysis of classical and non-classical modes of twinning in the calcite produced by biomineralization in the shell of the rotaliid foraminifer species Amphistegina lessonii. Foraminifera are responsible for about a quarter of the marine...
