Amino acid compositions of aragonite samples precipitated from seawater, using a pH stat titrator using the constant composition technique between September 2021 and December 2022. Samples were precipitated from 330 mL of seawater with no biomolecules (control) or with a seawater concentration of 2 mM of aspartic acid (Asp), 2 mM glycine (Gly), 2 mM of both amino acids (Asp+Gly) or 2 mM dipeptide glycyl-L-aspartic acid (Asp-Gly) or from 33 mL of seawater with variable concentrations of aspartic acid (Asp) or tetra-aspartic acid (Asp4). Protein was extracted from the samples and run as free amino acids (to detect amino acids in free form) and as hydrolysed samples (to detect peptides). Data were collected to determine how changes in the calcification fluids of calcareous organisms affect aragonite precipitation. Data were collected by Giacomo Gardella, Sam Presslee and Nicola Allison and interpreted by Giacomo Gardella, Cristina Castillo Alvarez, Nicola Allison, Adrian Finch, Kirsty Penkman, Roland Krӧger, Sam Presslee and Matthieu Clog

Precipitations were conducted using a pH stat titrator using the constant composition technique between August 2020 and April 2022. Aragonite precipitation rates are estimated from the rate of titrant dosing. pH and DIC are used to estimate the seawater aragonite saturation state of each precipitation and, on occasion, the [HCO3-] and [CO32-]. Data were collected to determine how changes in the calcification fluids of calcareous organisms affect aragonite precipitation. Data were collected by Cristina Castillo Alvarez and interpreted by Cristina Castillo Alvarez, Nicola Allison, Adrian Finch, Kirsty Penkman, Roland Kröger and Matthieu Clog.

Strontium/calcium, magnesium/calcium, lithium/calcium and boron/calcium ratios of 107 aragonite samples precipitated in vitro using a pH stat titrator using the constant composition technique between August 2020 and April 2022. Measured seawater pH and dissolved inorganic carbon concentrations (DIC) are used to estimate the seawater aragonite saturation state (O) of each precipitation. Aragonite precipitation rates are estimated from the rate of titrant dosing. The trace element contents of the solid produced in the experiment was corrected for the composition of the seed used as a surface for aragonite growth. Seawater [Sr], [Mg], [Li], [B] and [Ca] were also measured and seawater [B(OH)4-] is estimated from total seawater [B] and pH. Data were collected to determine how changes in the calcification fluids of calcareous organisms affect aragonite precipitation. Data were collected by Cristina Castillo Alvarez and Ed Hathorne and interpreted by Cristina Castillo Alvarez, Nicola Allison, Adrian Finch, Kirsty Penkman, Roland Kröger, Ed Hathorne and Matthieu Clog.
