A single fractal pinwheel tile

The pinwheel triangle of Conway and Radin is a standard example for tilings with self-similarity and statistical circular symmetry. Many modifications were constructed, all based on partitions of triangles or rectangles. The fractal example of Frank and Whittaker requires 13 different types of tiles...

Description
Summary:The pinwheel triangle of Conway and Radin is a standard example for tilings with self-similarity and statistical circular symmetry. Many modifications were constructed, all based on partitions of triangles or rectangles. The fractal example of Frank and Whittaker requires 13 different types of tiles. We present an example of a single tile with fractal boundary and very simple geometric structure which has the same symmetry and spectral properties as the pinwheel triangle.
