Pyritized shell. This specimen (first 4 photos) comes from the classic site on the banks of a small creek. It used to be called P.reichenbachensis after the nearest town until someone discovered that the priority lay with transiens. The last photo shows a 4cm. specimen with original shell substance from the clay pit at Buttenheim, Bavaria.
