Pyritized brachiopods
We have some Permian spirifids in Tasmania that have quartz crystals inside, retaining the structure. Some are said to include fluorite crystals too, but I haven't seen any of those.
Excellent photo of brachiopid brachidium.
Beautiful specimen.
Enjoy your daily writings. Thank you.
A truly wonderful and instructive specimen!🙌
Thanks for the nice words. I wish it was my specimen or photo! But I'm happy with the pair at the top :)
