Abstract
We describe paper models which represent the cortical shell structures of radiolarian genus Pantanellium using the unit origami method: the construction of a polyhedral frame using origami units. Each unit corresponds to the edge of a polyhedron. The models are constructed based on planar graphs representing the cortical shell structures of real specimens. The resulting models reproduce the cortical shell structures appropriately. This means that the origami model is useful for both naked-eye practical observation of shell structures and group educational/art activities.
期刊介绍:
La Revue de micropaléontologie publie 4 fois par an des articles de intérêt international, consacrés à tous les aspects de la micropaléontologie. Les textes, en anglais ou en français, sont des articles originaux, des résultats de recherche, des synthèses et mises au point, des comptes rendus de réunions scientifiques et des analyses de ouvrages. La revue se veut résolument ouverte à tous les aspects de la micropaléontologie en accueillant des travaux traitant de la systématique des microfossiles (et de leurs équivalents actuels), des bactéries aux microrestes de vertébrés, et de toutes leurs applications en sciences biologiques et géologiques.
