Abstract
⺠The structural and mechanical properties of coral and nacre used as bone substitute. ⺠The chemical composition of the nacre and coral are qualitatively similar to a bone. ⺠The percentage of porosity influences significantly the mechanical properties. ⺠A stress-life curve revealed an endurance limit to coral and nacre.
