Discocone shell smooth surface 3D print model

Name of the model: Discocone Conch SmoothTriangles: 377352Vertices: 188678Information: This model emulates an almost oxyconic conch known as discocone. In oxyconesthe umbilicus is not well exposed, and the overall shell form is compressed. According toWestermann (1996) the whorl height shows pronounced expansion during accretion of the recent180° of shell whorl. Oxycones would have offered higher stability and maneuverability thanother forms, and generally a short body chamber.References:Westermann GEG. 1996. Ammonoid Life and Habitat.
