How would you describe this shape?

I'm trying to figure out how to describe this shape in my book. The outline is like an eye: rounded and comes to two points. The only difference is that it is 3D, like if you spun that shape on its points, so you have kind of a sphere coming to two points on the end. Is there a name for this shape? Geometry was never my favorite...

Thanks!

 

almond or leaf maybe ?

 

Drunken orb?

 

It's shaped like a lemon, correct? Or did I not understand your description correctly? There isn't a name that I know for it exactly, but it sounds like the shape of a lemon.

 

Like a football?

 

It would be a prolate ellipsoid.

 

Thanks guys! Prolate ellipsoid was what I was wondering. Unfortunately I don't think it will go over very well in my middle-grade reader. However, lemon and football are great suggestions!

Thanks a lot!

 

Prolate spheroid.

EDIT: I didn't see coolie's response at the time I posted this. His answer is more accurate.

 

Lemon is good. Football will work for American readers...not so much for others.

 

The answer's been given, but I'll try a couple in laymen's terms. Rounded cat's eye? Oval gem?
