Abstract
    Usually during biomineralization, organisms gather the precursors (such as ions of metals) essential to formation of biominerals directly in their natural environments. Marine invertebrates both fossil and recent represent amazing sources of biominerals which mostly arose at the early stages of evolution. Consequently broad diversity of hypothesis and speculations concerning the mechanisms of biomineralization of amorphous and crystalline phases within biominerals has been established during last 50 years of intensive research. The organic matrix has a fundamental role in biomineralization, and is inspiration for biomimetics, bioengineering and for the oncoming nanotechnologies. This chapter includes the list of most recent references related to the modern trends in biomineralization.
