Concerning message #21620:

Dear Bill
I had to look up the word "dextrally" in my dictionary ("rechthändig" in German..), then I went and took a closer look at some more of my photos and I think these egg ribbons are dextrally.

Locality: Lembeh, 12-15 m, Sulawesi, Indonesia, Pacific, 4. Juli 2006, black sand. Photographer: Teresa (Zubi) Zuberbühler.

I add some close-ups.

Dear Zubi,

Thanks for the extra photos. Yes it means a right-handed (clockwise) spiral, but I am afraid the transparency of the ribbon makes its impossible for me to decide from these photos - perhaps if you had the free end of the ribbon it would be easier to see?

Best wishes,
Bill Rudman
