Discocone wide 3D print model

Name of the model: Discocone Conch SmoothTriangles: 1091704Vertices: 3275112Information: This model emulates an almost oxyconic conch known as discocone. In oxycones the umbilicus is not well exposed, and the overall shell form is depressed. According to Westermann (1996) the whorl height shows pronounced expansion during accretion of the recent 180° of shell whorl. Oxycones would have offered higher stability and maneuverability than other forms, and generally a short body chamber.References:Westermann GEG. 1996. Ammonoid Life and Habitat.
