Abstract

We present a new approach to modelling of foraminiferal shells. Previous models referred to fixed reference axes and neglected apertures, which play a crucial role in morphogenesis of shells. Our 2D preliminary model applies the moving reference system based on introducing of apertures and minimization of the local communication path (LCP). LCP defines the position of every final aperture. A formal description of simple analytical methods with some elements of randomness is given in this paper. Selected examples of simulated shells are figured.
