Rockwood Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I found this the other day, in the cab of my pickup, while looking for ski wax. I often pick things like this out of the gravel I'm shoveling during the fall. The bulk of this material is Devonian marine rock. Bits of plant do show up now and then.

Rockwood Posted January 22, 2018 Author Share Posted January 22, 2018 The pattern seems to originate from two separate points that look like they could be weathered pyrite. Could this be the sort of thing that is the cause of pyrite disease ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike from North Queensland Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 We see what we want to see. But to me it looks like the imprint of a shell. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
