Model in polar view and a globular ''Alveolina'' (Middle (?) Eocene of Pakistan) cut in a similar direction. Note the shortened distance between the septa in the [[equator]]ial and the lengthened distance in the axial realm. In oblique sections of globular to elongate involute [[planispiral]] shells the structure of the [[chamber]]s in opposite sectors of the section approaches more or less closely in appearance that of either an [[equator]]ial or an axial section depending on the location and angle of the cut with respect to the septa

==Definition==
*''according to Hottinger (2006):''
'''POLE''' (OF SHELL) - in subspherical to fusiform shells the point where the tips of involute [[chamber]]s in a [[planispiral]] [[whorl]] meet the [[axis of coiling]]. See also: [[polar torsion]].
