There was a thread about Ammonites a gazillion of threads ago, so the following is hardly news.
At Geopolis there is a page with some interesting pics of Ammonite shells.
Attached below is a picture of the shell of Nipponites mirabile, whose shell is made up of U-turns. Now, if all those U-turns were turned 180 degrees, we would have a spiraling shell instead. My point here is that, how do we know that Nipponites is designed and not descended from Ammonites with spiraling shells through a mutation that caused the shell to turn the wrong way, but apparently with a beneficial result?
