Sažetak
The paper presents and compares the results of microstructural analysis of two different Adriatic Sea shells, both belonging to the species of sea snails, namely the Adriatic Monodonta and the Mediterranean limpet. Although both seashells are coastal marine gastropod molluscs, they do have a very distinctive microstructure. The detailed microscopic analysis has shown that the Monodonta consists mainly of nacre. On the other hand, the limpet’s shell showed a crossedlamellar microstructure, which extends through almost the whole cross section of the shell. Average measured aragonite layers thicknesses are 0.454 and 0.360 um in Monodonta and limpet shell, respectively.
