"When amorphous, the shape of the spectrum is different compared to that of calcite and we've also been able to analyze the exact same spicule 10 months later and saw the spicule that were amorphous became crystalline," said Pupa Gilbert, physics professor at University of Wisconsin-Madison and lead researcher of the study.
