dc.description.abstract	Calcium carbonate deposition in 17 algal species was studied using X-ray diffraction technique. Argonite was the predominant mineral deposit in chlorophytic genera: Halimeda, Udotea, Acetabularia, Phaeophytic genus: Padina and Rhodophycean genera: Actinotrichia and Galaxaura. In Corallinaceous forms like Amphiroa, Jania and Cheilosporum high magnesium calcite was the predominant mineral. Halite, illite, quartz and feldspar were the major contaminants from surrounding media.	en_US
