Abstract :The invasive sea urchin Aristotle’s lanterns, shell and spines describe as biological materials. In order to confirm this suggestion, the physical and chemical properties of Aristotle lantern, shell and spine of the invasive Diadema setosum distributed in the Iskenderun Bay were explained for the first time in this study. This species was prepared for the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FT-IR);, X-ray diffraction insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(XRD);, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(EDS); and scanning electron microscope insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SEM); evaluation of Aristotle’s lantern, shell and spine. The results showed that the shell, spine and Aristotle’s lantern are composed of rough, microporous, multilayered, rough and fiber-like structures. According to XRD results, Aristotle’s lantern, shell and spine were found to be similar to calcite. As a result, the shell, spine and Aristotle’s lantern of D. setosum are qualified biological materials that can be used in many areas such as biosorption, biocatalyst, medicine, biomedical applications and lime welding.
