Description:

Description: English: Sagittal section of the shell of the “primitive” extant cephalopod species Nautilus macromphalus. The contrast of the photograph was artificially enhanced in order to show the iridescence (structural colors) of the mother of pearl layer that is making up the internal surface of the shell. Deutsch: Sagittalschnitt durch das Gehäuse der „primitven“ rezenten Kopffüßerart Nautilus macromphalus. Der Bildkontrast wurde künstlich verstärkt um das Irisieren (die Strukturfarben) des Perlmutts, das die Innenfläche des Gehäuses überzieht, besser sichtbar zu machen. Date: 23 August 2016, 06:44:42.
