Original – Diagram of the anatomy of a female Nautilus pompilius
Reason
Freely licensed, meets all other criteria. This image has been almost two years in the making— please offer any comments for suggestions or improvements, I am still taking all of them (really! I need suggestions to improve!). Thanks! This image has been cleaned of raster components and has passed W3C validation; it contains no HTML code and has been managed for size. I have chosen not to depict the animal's tentacles (beyond the shadow shown here) as this would make the image more difficult to interpret than it already may be. Likewise I have curtailed the depiction of the neural system, the circulatory system, and the musculoskeletal system, as each of these would require its own complete diagram to be correctly understood. From this illustration the viewer should be able to understand that the nautilus has an archaic metamerism visible in the number of its lungs, a typical molluscan nerve ring around its oesophagus, and a simple locomotive system via its hyponome.KDS4444Talk 14:55, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
