It raised my interest but you know how life gets: too many things to follow up. Now I will sound quite knowledgeable when instead of talking about the "brain pattern" I talk about vermiculation a subset of rustication. Again, thanks.

Seeing the picture of the coral with your photos of vermiculation reassures me that I wasn't imaging their similarity. And what a coincidence that there is a range of wallpaper called "Le Grand Corail-Vermiculé".
