1.I'm looking for samples of calcite in the cave.

我在山洞里找方解石的样本。

2.But theirs were made of the mineral calcite, which also constituted their exoskeletons.

但这些晶体是由方解石构成，们的甲壳也是同样的成分。

3.As it builds up, so the calcite forms decorations that hang from the ceiling, stalactites.

随着的积累，方解石形成了悬在洞顶上的装饰物，钟乳石。

4.Made of calcite rods, the same stuff that forms limestone, they constituted the earliest visual systems known.

那种眼睛是由形成灰岩的同一种材料方解石杆状体形成的，是已知的最早的视觉系统。

5.Their calcite exoskeletons made for hardy fossils that would remain intact for hundreds of millions of years to come.

们的方解石甲壳形成了坚韧的化石，在接下来的数亿年都维持完好。

6.Using special proteins, mollusks can produce two crystal structures out of CaCO3: calcite and aragonite.

使用特殊的蛋白质，软体动物可以从 CaCO3 中产生两种晶体结构：方解石和文石。机翻

7.Plus, they were covered from their rounded heads to their many segmented feet in an exoskeleton made of calcite and chitin.

，们从圆圆的脑袋到许多分段的脚都被方解石和几丁质制成的骨骼所覆盖。机翻

8.Calcite is the more stable of the two and less prone to dissolving over time, so most mollusk shells have a sturdy outer layer of calcite.

方解石是两者中更稳定的一种，随着时间的推移不易溶解，因大多数软体动物的壳都有一层坚固的方解石层。机翻

9.The example you're looking at right now is calcite, and when you're seeing double, it's because light with one polarization is getting bent at a different rate than light with the other polarization.

您现在看到的例子是方解石，当您看到双重时，这是因为具有一种偏振的光与具有另一种偏振的光以不同的速率弯曲。机翻

10." The inside looks like a crystal cave because the limestone has leaked calcite into little stalactites, " says Lin, who entered the tomb and used lidar (light detection and ranging) to explore it on the show.

“里面看起来就像一个水晶洞，因为石灰岩中的方解石已经渗漏成了小钟乳石，”他进入墓室，并在节目中使用激光雷达（光探测和测距）进行了探索。
