COILING DIRECTION

The coiling direction sinistral (left-coiled) or dextral (right-coiled) of planktonic foraminiferal shells is
a classical proxy used to assess past environmental changes and to understand their evolutionary
patterns.

Some book take - If, looking toward the apex of the pod, the tip of the apical coil points in the direction
of a clock hands' movement, the coiling is clockwise; if it points in the opposite direction, the coiling
is anticlockwise. In comparison with Urban's designations, clockwise refers to 'right' and anticlockwise
to 'left' coiling.
