Growth of a Tessellation: Geometric rules for the Development of Stingray Skeletal Patterns

Growth of a Tessellation: Geometric rules for the Development of Stingray Skeletal Patterns

Abstract The skeletons of sharks and rays, fashioned from cartilage, and armored by a veneer of mineralized tiles (tesserae) present a mathematical challenge: How can the continuous covering be maintained as the skeleton expands? This study, using microCT and custom visual data analyses of growing s...
