Abstract
Several zeolite structure types show the typical projection of ferrierite down the c -direction, a pattern that is also present in some examples of early-oriental art. Unbranched zweier, dreier and vierer single chains as well as selected complex silicate chains are used as building units in order to generate structure models of this kind. For the single chains the construction principle is based on an appropriate interpretation of the edges of the projection net as projected chains. A subset of higher symmetric models is analysed in more detail with the distance least-squares method.
