I need to know the area of the intersection between a sperical shell and a plane in spherical coordinates. By "shell" I mean a sphere with some differential thickness dR. Basically, I know that the intersection of a sphere and a plane is a circle. But I want to consider this sphere having some differential thickness and determine the subsequent differential area of intersection with the plane. Can someone please help me out with formulating this problem? Thanks, Mike
