Abstract
Bioapatite represents an important acquisition in the evolution of life, both in the seas and on land. Vertebrates applied calcium-phosphate biominerals to grow their skeletal support and to shape their teeth, while some invertebrates sheltered their soft parts within apatite shells. Conodonts were the first among vertebrates to experiment with skeletal biomineralization of tooth-like elements in their feeding apparatus. Spanning a time record...
