Which common sea creature's shell approximates a logarithmic spiral similar to the golden spiral?

The nautilus shell grows in a logarithmic spiral pattern. However, studies show it doesn't precisely match the golden spiral, though it's often cited as an example.
💡 Did you know?
The nautilus has remained largely unchanged for 500 million years, making it a 'living fossil.'
