Calcareous body inclusions are commonly found throughout the invertebrate taxa. Elaborately structured calcium carbonate spicules are the major mineralized body inclusions of the gorgonian, Leptogorgia virgulata. Spicule formation in this octocoral, as well as other calcium carbonate invertebrate structures, is apparently regulated by the intra-spicule organic matrix. Recent findings show that the insoluble fraction of the spicule organic matrix is collagenous. Collagen, although integral to calcium phosphate structures found in vertebrates is not usually associated with the formation of invertebrate calcium carbonate structures. Interestingly, collagen is present in the organic matrix during the summer but absent in winter. This suggests …
