An embroidered  lab coat for an evolutionary biologist .

After an interesting visit to an evolutionary biologist lab on the Isle of Mull, I have been working on motifs relating to 'aristotles lantern' a beautiful and complex bone structure from a sea urchin.  I found this on a shelf surrounded by interesting pale and chalky bones and elephants teeth. White on white embroidery seemed a perfect choice for a very neat and tidy biologist!  

Aristotles Lantern

a complex arrangement of muscles and calcareous teeth and platesforming an eversible organ in most echinoids, functioning inmastication.

Origin: 

 so called from a reference by Aristotle to a sea urchin resembling inshape certain lanterns
