Crenulation

/ˌkrɛnjəˈleɪʃən/ noun

Definition

A series of small notches or scalloped indentations that create a wavy pattern along an edge.

Etymology

From Latin 'crenulatio,' the noun form of 'crenulatus.' The suffix '-tion' transforms the adjective into an abstract noun representing the pattern itself.

Kelly Says

The crenulation pattern on microscopic shells and plant leaves follows mathematical rules—scientists can identify species just by counting and measuring these tiny notches!
