在深水腹足动物 Scaphander cylindrellus 砂囊板的微结构成分中发现了二水草酸钙矿物威德莱石 (weddellite)。这是动物物种对这种矿物质进行非病理性沉淀的第一个迹象。据报道，在南极洲威德尔海的沉积物中发现了新的威德尔石，这为之前的解释提供了支持，即该矿物是该地区沉积物的自生成分。
The calcium oxalate dihydrate mineral, weddellite, has been identified in a microarchitectural component of the gizzard plates from the deepwater gastropod Scaphander cylindrellus. This is the first indication of nonpathologic precipitation of this mineral by an animal species. A new occurrence of weddellite in sediments from the Weddell Sea, Antarctica, is also reported, lending support to the earlier interpretation that the mineral is an authigenic constituent of the sediments in this area.
