The idea is to study how to make a model of this and to elucidate the Numbers!
1. a drawing, and the real thing, next.
Size may be 2 cm or so.
2. the underside, which would have strong muscles from the mollusc's mantle attached to it.
3. the outside of the operculum, and a crochet hyperbolic fibonacci fan-----one can see how it naturally configures its shape just so.... more images to follow.....

4. A Real Abalone seashell with pearly inside, nacre, which is said to be made of Calcium minerals and a protein, lustrin.
5. The outside of the abalone shell has red coral growing on it! And little barnacles, and a tube worm with hard case, like Galeolaria maybe. You can see the outer rim has spiracles, respiratory holes. One day we might be able to discover how to make a model of this Shell.
Wonderful Oceania! One can only marvel and admire.
