Short story / legend
The nautilus is nicknamed a “living fossil” because it has changed little over the past 400 million years. Its shell, in a perfect logarithmic spiral, symbolizes cosmic order, infinity, and the golden ratio. Revered in many cultures as an emblem of eternity and natural perfection.
