Here are a few references that might be of interest. I believe that the
Boyde & Jones chapter includes a study of developmental processes in
teeth. Hillson's several publications (including the book "Teeth") usually
include a developmental section with good references.
Boyde, A., and S. J. Jones. 1972. Mineralized Tissues: SEM studies
(chapter 11), in Developmental Aspects of Oral Biology. Edited by H. C.
Slavkin and L. A. Bavetta, pp. 267-274. New York: Academic Press.
Glimcher, M. J., MD. 1970. Chapter 3 (The Nature of the Mineral Component
of Bone and the Mechanism of Calcification) in "The Physiology of Bone".
Edited by J. M. Vaughan. Oxford: Clarendon Press.
And these are a bit more general but should contain developmental
information:
Francillon-Vieillot, H., V. de Buffrenil, J. Castanet, J. Geraudie, F. J.
Skeletal Biomineralization: Patterns Processes and Evolutionary Trends, vol. 1.
Edited by J. G. Carter, pp. 471-530. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold.
Klevezal, G. A. 1996. Recording Structures of Mammals.
Rotterdam/Brookfield: A.A. Balkema.
Finally - this may be of interest to you?
Koch, P. L., D. Tuross, and M. L. Fogel. 1997. The Effects of Sample
Treatment and Diagenesis on the Isotopic Integrity of Carbonate in
Biogenic Hydroxylapatite. Journal of Archaeological Sciences 24:417-429.
Best of luck!
