Pyritized Keichousaurus

Recommended Posts

Just finished prepping this juvenile keichousaurus and thought it was worth a view as all the bones are totally pyritized. I've never seen this on any keichousaurus before. All the bones have a  burnished gold patina. Mother Nature is awesome!

I like Trilo-butts and I cannot lie.

That pyrite makes for a really cool fossil.  Nice prep job too.  Those 'grid pattern' are quite bazar looking.   Thanks for sharing.

Thank you. I hear that! It's been done.
