Calcite in the statoconia of amphibians: a detailed analysis in the frog Rana esculenta.

Abstract:

:The otoconia of Amphibia, especially of the frog Rana esculenta, were studied by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SEM studies showed that the membranous labyrinth of Amphibia contains two populations of crystals, which can easily be distinguished by their forms. The X-ray diffraction data indicated that these two populations consist of calcite and aragonite; the endolymphatic sac, the saccule and the lagena contain aragonite, whereas calcite is only found in the otolithic membrane of the utricle. The genetic and functional significance of the existence of two crystalline forms of calcium carbonate in the membranous labyrinth are discussed.
