Calcium Carbonate: Used for Calcium Carbonate: Used for ““protectionprotection””
Demineralization in vitro of the stony hard calcite skeleton of the sea pen coral (Pennatulaceae) in vitro. Demineralization using Osteosoft (EDTA) solution led to loss of mineral phase (left), after that highly flexible organic matrix (right) could be obtained
