Researchers have carried out the first detailed study of the molecular mechanisms responsible for formation of the brachiopod shell. Comparison with shell synthesis in other groups reveals the deep ...

More carbon dioxide in the air also acidifies the oceans. It seemed to be the logical conclusion that shellfish and corals will suffer, because chalk formation becomes more difficult in more acidic ...

Ineos Energy, part of the larger Ineos Group Ltd. of London, on Monday announced a new oil discovery in the U.S. Gulf of ...

Egg shell formation for Parastrigea mexicanus is described. Eleven histochemical tests were used to elucidate the process and to characterize the oogenotop. The egg is formed in the ootype (a region ...

Shell and INEOS Energy have struck oil at a deepwater exploration well in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, confirming a new discovery in the high-pressure Norphlet formation ...

Shell and INEOS Energy have confirmed an oil discovery in the Norphlet formation in the Gulf of America that could be tied back ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have examined the developmental fate (the future tissue type) of shell-forming cells in mollusks using blastomere isolation and culture techniques alongside ...

Fact: More carbon dioxide (CO2) in the air also acidifies the oceans. It seemed to be the logical conclusion that shellfish and corals will suffer, because chalk formation becomes more difficult in ...
