As you can see there is a spiral in the middle of the cyclone. This is an almost perfect Fibonacci spiral and works amazingly with my project. Obviously, with nature perfect spirals are not commonly noticed thing because nature is not always perfect.

In this example, we can see sections of the Fibonacci spiral throughout the sunflower. There are lots of the sections within the sunflower which gives it the slight spiral effect.

Here you are able to see two Fibonacci spirals in this galaxy. This is a perfect example of the Fibonacci spiral in nature. As you can see it is perfectly matched along the edges of the galaxy.

This is an example of a section of the Fibonacci spiral. Seen in the photo, the outer edge of the spiral perfectly fits the side of the egg.

In this example, the Fibonacci spiral fits around a part of the galaxy. I believe that a second spiral could also fit around the other section of the galaxy.

Here we can see the multiple uses of the Fibonacci spiral in the parts of this womans face. With all of the Fibonacci tiles at right angles the Fibonacci spirals match perfectly with her face making up her forehead, eye brows, nose, lips and chin.

This is an x-ray of sea shell completely made from the Fibonacci spiral, including the small lines connecting the spirals. The connections have different thicknesses which gives the lines the irregular look.

This pine cone has sections of the Fibonacci spiral along the bracts. Some start at different places than the others but it still continues the spiral effect.
