Reddit reviews The Algorithmic Beauty of Sea Shells (The Virtual Laboratory)

My Mother (either purchased or found) a cool cone shell that contained a crude likeness of the Sierpinski triangle. Always thought it was cool!

I posted it on here years ago.

Due to the way the shell grows and "prints" out a pattern it is not uncommon for cone shells to be covered with awesome geometric designs. There is a very cool book on precisely this subject that I'm sure a few of you have.

There is a book called The Algorithmic Beauty of Sea Shells about this.

If you thought that was cool you might also find this interesting:
