Abstract
Biomineralization is the process by which living organisms produce minerals. Although the term is recent (∼1970), the study of internal and external skeleton mineralization is older. This article describes the history of biomineralization studies. This story is strongly dependent on, but not only on, the history of analytical technique development. Events are chronologically described to easily track progress and connections between people. The background of the people who contributed to the progress is also briefly described.
