## Abstract This article explores the close relationships between growth rate and allometries of molluscan shells. After reviewing the previous theoretical approaches devoted to the understanding of shell form and its morphogenesis, we present a free‐form vector model which can simulate apertural s
In attempts to account mathematically for the morphogenesis of biological structures it is important that the parameters chosen for the purpose should be "biological," that is, they should refer directly to the growth processes through which the structure is formed. Molluscan shells are formed by a
