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.

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

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.
