- These equations are wrong. There needs to be an exponential or other scale factor to take into account biological growth. There is a well established theory of seashell mathematics by Chris Illert.
Yes there is a question as to whether this article is intended to be a biologically accurate or just a mathematical curiosity. The Spiral page is somewhat bettern it at least refers to D’Arcy Wentworth Thompson's On Growth and Form. --Salix alba (talk) 11:08, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
