I need some information about the chimical composition of mussel seashell.
Physical and geometrical caractérisaion of Mussel seashll.
Would you be able to narrow down the region or species in which you require this information for?
I have a geoscience background. - Main component is calcium carbonate, where parts of the calcium can be replaced by other metals, what you commonly can see by color: Manganese (pink) and Copper (green), in accordance to the adequate minerals formed etc. - Please find attached a quite good article dealing with the chemical composition of mussel and oyster shells.
Good luck
Mr. Jake Rodney Wallis: I want to know the characterization of mussel waste for a recovery proposal.
