Figure 1
We examined (Aquilano et al., 2019) the indexing of dominant forms belonging to more than 200 single and twinned aragonite crystals grown in different geological sites: (a) prismatic {110}, {011} and pinacoidal {010} forms on single crystals; (b) repeated contact {110} twins; (c) repeated penetration {110} twin showing the {001} form as well. Note that, from our historical research, the basal {001} form appears in 45% of twins and in only 23% of single crystals. Crystals redrawn after Goldschmidt (1913). |
