Thanks Shelley. The nautilus shell image can be seen if you type in its name on Google- image.
I would like one cut in half as a teaching aid to show children how mathematics is found in nature- i.e. the equiangular spiral.
Thanks for the information everyone. I had checked the customs site
and there was no mention of it being prohibited that I could see.
Having one would be a very special, hands-on maths lesson.
Thanks. Jo :)
