1. Raman spectroscopy of volcanic lavas and inclusions of relevance to astrobiological exploration by Susana E. Jorge-Villar, and Howell G. M. Edwards Philosophical Transactions A Volume 368(1922):3127-3135 July 13, 2010 ©2010 by The Royal Society

2. Raman spectrum of calcite and aragonite, both polymorphs of calcium carbonate, are easily distinguished by Raman spectroscopy owing to the band at 283 cm−1 characteristic for calcite, whereas aragonite shows a band at 203 cm−1.
