Ammonites in Clay

Ammonites are common fossils found around the world. They are also examples of the Fibonacci sequence often seen in nature. Think of a pinecone, a seed head, a shell. It’s amazing.

According to How Stuff Works,

“The order goes as follows: 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144 and on to infinity. Each number is the sum of the previous two. This series of numbers is known as the Fibonacci numbers or the Fibonacci sequence. The ratio between the numbers (1.618034) is frequently called the golden ratio or golden number.”

I think that is why the technique I learned from Ron Lehocky at COW is so attractive. It’s not just the “Ronny” gane, ” but the actual shape that is so attractive. Lucky me!
