trilobiteruss Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 The leaf ID looks good to me, but those who know plans better than me may have more to say. I think the object does look like some kind of pyrite crystals as you are guessing, interesting anyway! russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
painshill Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 1 & 2 is a pyritized concretion, although it may no longer be pyrite... could well now be a pseudomorph. There probably is, or was, something organic inside it. If that small round white object to the left isn't a pebble, it might be a small sponge. I would agree Neuropteris on 3 & 4 Roger I keep six honest serving-men (they taught me all I knew);Their names are What and Why and When and How and Where and Who [Rudyard Kipling] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
araucaria1959 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I also agree with Neuropteris sp. araucaria1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckmerlin Posted October 30, 2012 Author Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) Thanks all for looking and helping me , I took the step of craking the object in pics 1 and 2 . I already have some better specimens of Pyrite, so curiosity got the better of me and low and behold the results Edited October 30, 2012 by ckmerlin "A man who stares at a rock must have a lot on his mind... or nothing at all' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
