I found this article online and I had a blast:
http://www.shallowsky.com/blog/science/fibonautilus.html
I was well aware that the fibonacci spiral (or golden spiral) doesn't fit scrolls very well, and guess what: nautilus shells don't like it either. and they do have a spiral that is more similar to the ones we use in the engraving world.
anyway food for thoughts!
