          I like "surface synthesis" questions. Here's a simple-minded model that combines an Archimedean spiral with a power law curve:



          With[h = 1/10, n = 24, c = 4, p = 2/3,
          ParametricPlot3D[t (h Cos[n t] + Cos[v]), t (h Sin[n t] + Sin[v]), (c t)^p,
          t, 0, 3, v, 0, 2 π, Axes -> None, Boxed -> False,
          Lighting -> "Neutral", Mesh -> False, PlotPoints -> 85,
          PlotStyle -> Opacity[3/4, Black], ViewPoint -> 3.2, -1.6, 1.]]
