Pyritized OMANYTE//OMASTAR & Pyritized KABUTO//KABUTOPS
A Pyritized fossil is one where during the formation of said fossil it becomes iron pyrite, a mineral know as "fool's gold" due to its golden shine. This process is common in fossils from the Paleozoic era like Ammonites and Trilobites

This versions of OMANYTE and KABUTO are revived from such pyritized fossils, this not only changes their color, giving them both a golden shell, but also changes their type, now being Water/Steel type

Captorhinus skulls with pyrite and calcite crystal growth.
Captorhinus were anapsids from the Permian - meaning their skulls did not have the normal fenestration that diapsid reptiles or synapsid mammals have. Named for their hooked snout, these reptiles had a pineal(or "third") eye - a small photoreceptive spot on the top of the skull not seen in the pictures here.

Sometimes fossils can turn into pyrite! This helps preserve soft tissues and small details.

Deuxième étape de mon périple dans l'Ouest pour retrouver des ami(e)s lointain(e)s , Brigitte et Sylviane à La Rochelle.
Le Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle. Des Ammonites en 1 et 2, puis une Encrine du Jurassique, un corail Pseudocoenia de même étage, un poisson Lepidotes lui aussi du Jurassique. Sur la suivante, de la Pyrite, un Béryl bleu, de la Labradorite et du Soufre. Et sur la dernière, un Quartz fumé.

This Pyritized Ammonite Fossil is spectacular on all levels. It’s actually a pseudomorph - it started as an ammonite shell then morphed into pyrite!
