We undertook a study of cellular carbonate features to develop a model for calcification. However, this important process of skeletal carbonate formation is not well understood. Their capacity to build enduring crusts that underpin the formation of tropical reefs, rhodolith beds and other benthic substrate is dependent on the formation of a calcified thallus. Coralline algae are key biological substrates of many carbonate systems globally.
