    Abstract:

    The Limnoperna fortunei – golden mussel is a mollusk of the bivalve class [1], which in this exploratory study has the complex microarchitecture of its shell as the target of our investigation. The objectives of this research are: to identify the mineral phases present in the shell using X-ray diffraction, to determine the hardness by the ultramicrohardness test and with the scanning electron microscope to visualize the existing layers. The mineral phases: calcite and aragonite were identified. The ultramicrohardness test was carried out on the innermost layer of the shell, the prismatic layer of aragonite, and the results found are consistent with the literature. Visualization of the periostracus, calcite layer, nacreous layer and prismatic layer was performed successfully. The results obtained allowed a better understanding of the analyzed material, which motivated us to deepen and advance in our studies.
