Comparison of structure of different Adriatic Sea shells
Mayans had shaped nacre teeth from sea shells as early as around 600 A.D., with the implanted sea shell material becoming unified to the bone. Biomaterials of which sea shells are made are complex composite materials. They consist mainly of a brittle, inorganic phase and a small amount of an adaptable organic phase, which is usually a protein matrix. They possess a unique combination of properties, which encourages scientist to study the specific structure and properties of biomaterials and to try to use them in engineering for the synthesis of new advanced composite materials. The paper presents and compares the results of microstructural analysis of different Adriatic Sea shells. The authors have previously researched different sea shells, such as abalone, smooth clam and warty venus. The abalone's inner layer structure was nacreous, and the outer layer was homogeneous. The smooth clam's inner layer structure was homogeneous, the outer cross-lamellar. The warty venus's inner layer structure was also homogeneous, but the outer layer was prismatic. These sea shells are now compared to the structure of resembling types of other sea shells. Abalone, i.e. the green ormer (Haliotis tuberculata) was compared to a common Adriatic Sea snail, the monodonta (Monodonta labio). Afterwards, they were both compared to the microstrucure of the common European limpet (Patella vulgate). The green ormer, the monodonta and the limpet all belong to the species of sea snails, which are coastal marine gastropod molluscs. Smooth clam and warty venus belong to a different group of sea shells, namely marine bivalve molluscs. Their structures were compared to the structure of a much larger sea shell, namely the Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis). Although they are an object of aquaculture, they are also considered to be an invasive species.
