It is assumed that the crystallographic texture of minerals in the shells of recent and fossil mollusks is very stable. To check this, it is necessary to examine the shells of animals that had lain in sediments for millions of years and lived in different conditions. It is revealed that the crystallographic texture of calcite in the shells of <i>Gryphaea dilatata</i> from deposits from the Middle Callovian-Lower Oxfordian (Jurassic), which lived in different water areas, is not affected by habit
