Dear Zooarchers
I'm on the field in North-east Honduras where I'm analizing the faunal
material from a Postclassical coastal midden (110-1500 AD) and I came
up with big amounts of shells. What I find interesting is the white,
flaky and fragile appearance of almost all malacological material and
I think it might be due to termal affectations or due to sediment
conditions.
I have attached, in the link below, a picture of some oysters with
this composition to see if any of you have found something similar.

Thanks in advance, any help is much appreciated.
