Description
Cross section of a shell of the Chambered Nautilus, Nautilus pompilius, also called the pearly nautilus. The spiral architecture of this cephalopod's shell suggests mathematical principals and the reflection adds the element of symmetry. It's often said that the pattern illustrates the Fibonacci sequence, however that's not quite the case, the ratios are different.
