Wow craig, these are really cool! So ghostly and artistic. Can't be nature when it comes to beauty and symmetry.
Who did these x-rays?
I did the x-rays in the Zoology Dept. at Harvard. It was part of the project to characterize the diversity of deep-sea gastropods. See McClain et al. 2004 and McClain 2005 both in Evolution
Beautiful! I love this structure. Anything to do with helices or spirals. So I'm always delighted by shells or spiral staircases.
