  1. †

    We gratefully acknowledge financial support for parts of this investigation by the DFG within the focal point program principles of biomineralization (SPP 1117, Prinzipien der Biomineralization). Sincere thanks are given to: R. Radlanski, and H. Renz (FU Berlin) as well as S. Pfeiffer (University of Kiel) for their support with the realization of shock-frozen sample preparation and TEM images, M. Hanfland, and G. Vaughan (ESRF Grenoble) for their support with synchrotron radiation experiments, U. Burkhardt (MPI CPfS, Dresden) for the determination of the density, P. Schmidt (TU Dresden) and R. Niewa as well as S. Müller (MPI CPfS) for thermogravimetric analysis, H. Borrmann and O. Hochrein (MPI CPfS) for their support analyzing the single crystal X-ray-diffraction data, and O. H. for his help with the inside cover and the superposition figure to visualize the growth mechanism, J. Buder (MPI CPfS) for sample preparations, and finally to B. Bayer, U. Schmidt, and A. Völzke for realizing numerous chemical analyses.
