## Abstract Studies of the sea urchin larval skeleton have contributed greatly to our understanding of the process of biomineralization. In this study we have undertaken an investigation of the morphology of skeleton formation and the localization of proteins involved in the process of spicule form
## Abstract The hyaline layer (HL) is an apically located extracellular matrix (ECM) which surrounds the sea urchin embryo from the time of fertilization until metamorphosis occurs. While gelatin‐cleavage activities were absent from freshly prepared hyaline layers, a dynamic pattern of activities d
