## Abstract The major lateral teeth of the chiton __Acanthopleura echinata__ are composite structures composed of three distinct mineral zones: a posterior layer of magnetite; a thin band of lepidocrocite just anterior to this; and apatite throughout the core and anterior regions of the cusp.

Elemental composition and distribution in individual teeth of the whole radula of the chiton Cryptoplax striata were analyzed using energydispersive spectroscopy. Both the element deposited and its position within the tooth vary according to the stage of mineralization. The initial site of mineraliz
