Japanese designer Aki Inomata re-created the shell of an ammonite (the octopus’s ancestor) using 3-D scanning and printing techniques. This octopus, named Mersi, took no more than a few minutes to recognize it as home and make it hers. 🐙 From regenerating coral reefs to feeding an overpopulated planet, explore how design offers strategies for repairing our world in our new exhibition, #BrokenNature, a collaboration with Triennale Milano: mo.ma/brokennature | MoMA The Museum of Modern Art

A rare, large fossil heteromorphic ammonite of the genus Ammonitoceras. Unlike the classic coiled forms, these ammonites developed irregular shell shapes, offering key insights into ancient marine environments, buoyancy strategies, and ammonoid evolution during the Cretaceous. #Ammonite #Fossil #Geology #GeologyPage #Paleontology | Geology Page
