Thank you. I've corrected the post.
Indeed, nautilus shells are not Fibonacci spirals.
very nice, keep writing
your blog is great! it really solidifies a bridge between science and art.
LOve it.....thanks for such a great presentation of all these pics.....I am an art teacher ans will be teaching my kids how to make math-inspired art in a few days.....very exciting
