dermatoglyphics

A fingerprint pattern type in which ridges form a complete circuit around a core, with two or more triradii.

In dermatoglyphics, whorl refers to a fingerprint pattern type in which ridges form a complete circuit around a core, with two or more triradii. This meaning comes from Cummins (1976) in Finger prints, palms, and soles. Here whorl is not a single complete 360-degree turn of a coiled gastropod or cephalopod shell around the axis.[1]
