A computational framework for the morpho-elastic development of molluskan shells by surface and volume growth

Fig 1

Schematic of shell growth.

Growth process of a molluskan shell surface depicted through the steps of volume growth of mantle tissue, morphoelastic deformation, and shell surface growth via secretion and calcification. The calcified region of the shell is indicated in yellow.
