__FORCETOC__
==Definition==
*''according to Hottinger (2006):''
'''BLUEPRINTING''' - a morphogenetic process: repetitive induction of shape by preexisting shapes, such as linear angularities or shoulders on a previous chamber that induce the position of the suture of the following chamber, or of areal reliefs by protrudent pile heads on which subsequent lamellae are thickened.
