As Oceans Alkalized, Life Developed Bones and Shells

- hinkley 9y agoThe last theory I heard was that fish developed calcium deposits in order to move up river deltas into fresh water. Calcium is important for muscle function and you would have to bring a stable supply with you to survive. The fact that mammals still cycle calcium in and out of their bones to manage blood chemistry was as I recall used to support that theory.
