Description
Strontium is found in the bones of fish and, more importantly, in aragonite, the mineral secreted by reef-building marine invertebrates such as corals, clams, tube worms, and their respective allies. Overall, strontium accounts for between 0. 75 – 1. 00% of aragonite’s total mass, and findings suggest that strontium itself induces inorganic precipitation of other ions, creating a biogenic aragonite. Rapid growth rates of corals and other reef-building invertebrates witnessed when strontium is ma
