• Animal shellRelated: Mollusks build much of their shell from this mineral.

• Band-e Amir National ParkRelated: Its precipitation builds the pale dams that hold the lakes.

• Calcium acetateCompared with: It is another calcium-based binder, but its carbonate anion gives it different properties.

• Calcium bicarbonateRelated: Its dissolution in carbon dioxide-rich water produces dissolved calcium and bicarbonate ions.

• Calcium cycleRelated: Its precipitation and dissolution transfer calcium between water, sediments, and organisms.

• Giant clamRelated: The clam’s heavy shell is built largely from calcium carbonate.

• Huanglong Scenic and Historic Interest AreaRelated: Its precipitation from spring water forms Huanglong’s travertine.

• Kuang Si FallsBroader topic: Its dissolved and deposited forms help shape the falls’ stepped basins.

• Plitvice Lakes National ParkRelated: This mineral is the principal material precipitating into the park’s tufa barriers.
