Fig. 6.6 The seven hierarchical levels of organization of the carp lapillus (Li et al. 2009). (a)
Level 1: Isolated crystals from lapillus observed by HRTEM and SEAD, (b) Level 2: SEM
micrograph of an aragonite fibril, (c) Level 3: SEM micrograph of an aragonite layer and the
extension direction of the layers, bar ¼ 200 nm, (d) Level 4: SEM micrograph of the sticklike
