• Aragonite is the favored CaCO3 polymorph in today’soceans
• Skeletons made of a wide range of polymorphs;biominerals not simply precipitates from ambientseawater
• Evidence for calcifying space within which organismsmanipulate saturation state• Despite this control, as seawater Ω decreases, significant
negative impact on the ability to calcify
• Why? Predictive capabilities requires mechanisticunderstanding (corals as an example)

• Biomineralization occurs in a controlledenvironment: seawater saturation state not equal tocalcifying fluid saturation state
• Observed responses to changes in seawatersaturation state occur via (poorly understood)biological processes associated with
biomineralization• In corals (and other organisms), energetic cost
associated with raising fluid saturation state limitsgrowth rate
• In many, but not all, organisms studied - larval andadult stages - the response is negative in terms ofsurvivability/viability
