分析了林虱Porcellio scaber和Armadillidium vulgare的角质层（壳）的无机物质含量。结果发现，除了少量的水和有机基质外，Cu2O3由结晶镁方解石、无定形碳酸钙（ACC）和无定形磷酸钙（ACP）组成。它的结论是，角质层，这构成了一个矿化的保护器官，是化学适应的生物要求，通过这种不同材料的组合。
The cuticules ( shells) of the woodlice Porcellio scaber and Armadillidium vulgare were analysed with respect to their content of inorganic material. It was found that the cuticles consist of crystalline magnesium calcite, amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC), and amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP), besides small amounts of water and an organic matrix. It is concluded that the cuticle, which constitutes a mineralized protective organ, is chemically adapted to the biological requirements by this combination of different materials.
