The microarchitectural variability in the echinoid skeleton: a 3D geometrical and stiffness characterization of Paracentrotus lividus

The sea urchin skeleton is a lightweight yet load-bearing hierarchical structure composed of calcitic plates with a species-specific three-dimensional (3D) trabecular meshwork known as stereom. Interestingly, the stereom architecture is extremely complex and variable in different basic types, each o...
