Volume and surface area calculation

	Shape
Simple shape	ell. trunc. cone + ellipsoid + double ell. cone
K(flattening factor)	0.5
More accurate shape	ell. cylinder + trunc. ell. cone + ellipsoid + 2 ell. cones

Hillebrand et al., 1999 - ellipsoid + 3 cylinders
(cross section may be elliptic rather than round. In this case the squared diameter of the equation should be replaced by the product of smaller x greater diameter; the genus is quite variable in shape; the general proposal is: to calculate the central cell body as ellipsoid, then add the hypotheacal horns as cones and apical horn as cylinder.)
