Lamellae can take various forms depending on the context in which they are used. For example, in geology, lamellae refer to thin layers of rock or mineral that are deposited in a sedimentary environment. These lamellae can take various forms depending on the mineralogical and sedimentological conditions in the depositional environment. For example, in a marine environment, lamellae can take the form of thin layers of calcite or aragonite that are deposited on the inner walls of shells or on the surfaces of other marine organisms.
