What is an example of an organic square/rectangle?

[Squideey]

Are there any biological structures that resemble near-perfect geometrical squares or rectangles? There are plenty with radial symmetry and triangles but I can't find an example of a square.

bismuth?

nvm that's not biological

not what you're looking for whatsoever but i know certain insects (specifically grasshoppers) have natural gear shaped apparatus to help them jump

[The Resonte!]

squares are unnatural

shapes are a lie



try a badly-constucted bee hive

Can't link, but there is a square bacterium called haloquadratum.

Some plant cells.

seems about right to me

Some plant cells.

Sort of. Most are quite rounded at the corners/edges, but are vaguely rectangular in their cross-section.

looks like pot pie

Apparently pyrite naturally forms cubic crystals.


I'd say this boxfish is pretty square.

cool stuff. I guess the bigger an organic structure is, the less likely it is to be geometric.

[Juncoph]

look at them side rectangles

[log]

would the squares in some spider web patterns count?

[Dreams_Of_Cheese]

lots of plant cells are rectangle/square shaped
