#Pyritized Fossil

Pyrite

Did you know that sometimes Fossils that are formed in an oxygen deprived space can form form Pyrite (aka Fool's Gold)...So I decided from there I needed to make a Fossil Pokemon who's a Pyrite Pirate!

He was revived from a Pyritized Fossil, so his body has a shiny gold looking Pyrite coating. I don't have a lot more to say here about this guy right now. I just came up with them as a Pun

Captorhinus skulls with pyrite and calcite crystal growth.

Captorhinus were anapsids from the Permian - meaning their skulls did not have the normal fenestration that diapsid reptiles or synapsid mammals have. Named for their hooked snout, these reptiles had a pineal(or "third") eye - a small photoreceptive spot on the top of the skull not seen in the pictures here.

Just bowls full of an varity of shiny, polished rocks, tumbled gemstones and fossils.

Others have their daily regularly bowls full of fruit, snacks, cereals or porridge 🥣

I just have my bowls full of plenty variety of rocks, buried under gems, fossils & other stuff.

Really high on old ancient minerals from the depths of the rich nature. Really crunchy.

Gemuary 2024 Day 20: Pyritized Fossil

Sometimes fossils can turn into pyrite! This helps preserve soft tissues and small details.

Deuxième étape de mon périple dans l'Ouest pour retrouver des ami(e)s lointain(e)s , Brigitte et Sylviane à La Rochelle.

Le Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle. Des Ammonites en 1 et 2, puis une Encrine du Jurassique, un corail Pseudocoenia de même étage, un poisson Lepidotes lui aussi du Jurassique. Sur la suivante, de la Pyrite, un Béryl bleu, de la Labradorite et du Soufre. Et sur la dernière, un Quartz fumé.

Ammonites, ancient marine creatures, have coiled shells with logarithmic spirals, chambers, and distinctive sutures. Ammonite shells are a true wonder where the golden ratio spiral can be observed and studied in nature. This specimen has been polished on one side to reveal the internal chambers of sparkling Pyrite and was found in Russia. The term "pyritized" refers to the process in which the original shell material of the Ammonite is replaced by Pyrite. This process occurs when the remains of the organism are buried in sediment rich in iron sulfides. Over time, the organic material in the shell is replaced by Pyrite through a chemical reaction, creating a pyritized form of the original structure.

The first sand gravel Echinoid!!

After the handful of brachiopodenchalk, fragments of polished round corals & the belemnite on the gravel beds and sand. 🛤️

Also found this piece with the imprint, not certainly sure if it is from brachiopode shell or an ammonite. It looks alike like an typical famous UK pyrite ammonite. But here ???

But that means all of the ten thousand of fragmented rocks 🪨 on the entire railroad tracks on my area and beyond since the construction works from last summer could be have some fragmented parts of their imprints.

Would be cool but then it means over 8 miles along of an 🚞🛤️ track too check up…….. shit.

Also was greeted with a lot of snails 🐌 on the track of the railroads back from work, two today, yesterday were a lot others in brown out.

We had Weinbergschnecken commonly many here long ago, the past years awful barely seen any of them but now plenty of an new population after the showers of raining.
