SPR08 Pyrite with Belemnite (fossil)
Dzheganas River, Northern Caucasus, Russia
5.1x 2.2x 2.0 cm
$185

A very unusual and playful little specimen, half mineral and half fossil.  The tube-like shaft is the remnant of a squid-like creature called a  belemnite, and a pyrite concretion has formed at its opening.There have been more of these offered since the initial find, but almost all are repaired-- this one is not.  It reminds me of a fishing bob.
