Skeletal tissues associate, in close interaction, an organic matrix and a mineral network. In crustaceans, chitin, the most frequent polysaccharide in invertebrate exoskeletons, is associated with calcite. In compact bone, collagen, major structural protein in vertebrate tissues is associated with hydroxyapatite. A parallel was evidenced in vivo between the three-dimensional assemblies of chitin and...
After a synthesis on some recent data on the biology of bone tissues senso lato, this paper focuses on the limits of known variability of bone regarding its amount of mineralisation (maximal and minimal) and on the underlying control mechanisms. Two models of hypermineralised bones are reviewed among cetaceans: the rostrum of the ‘beaked whale’ Mesoplodon and the tympanic bulla of the dolphin Delphinus...
