Tending to the Facial Surfaces of a Mathematical Biology Head-Scratcher: Why Does the Head of the Sea Turtle <i>Natator depressus</i> Resemble a Convex Zygomorphic Dodecahedron?

Two convex polyhedra that markedly resemble the head of the flatback sea turtle hatchling are identified. The first example is a zygomorphic tetragonal dodecahedron, while the other, an even better matching structure, is a related tetradecahedron, herein speculated to arise from this particular dode...
