Mantelmineraal

Mantelmineraal is a type of mineraloid that is composed of concretely aggregated radiolarians, a group of marine plankton that have a hard, calcium carbonate exoskeleton. It is forming from permineralized bodies that have been compacted into nodules or concretions, giving the appearance of a solid, matrix-like rock.

The name "Mantelmineraal" is of Dutch origin, which translates to "mantle mineral" in English. The name refers to the layered or laminated structure that the mineral exhibits, which resembles the layers of a mantle. It is primarily through the interactions of microorganisms and minerals rich in calcium that mediums including carbonate skeletons contain priests putting bones and particles of foreign solid origin outside the cells growing in living tissue.

Mineralogically, mantelmineraal is often classified as an unspecified radiolarian cuneofossile breccias that can contain diverse minerals. An often cited as common group belongs e.g. among minerals to glaciers under privillige gases radon and often very by weatherI conditions depending seeing preparation formations "karst" Skalis extremes.
