Pyritized Brachiopod - Fossil sodalite Mined from: British ColumbiaMined from: Morocco Era: Paleozoic Geological Age: Approximately 541 to 359 Million Years Ago Description: A brachiopod is a type of marine invertebrate animal that belongs to the phylum Brachiopoda. Brachiopods are often referred to as "lamp shells" because their shell somewhat resembles an old fashioned oil lamp. These pyritized brachiopod fossils are aesthetically perched on black shale host rocks, giving a pleasing contrast with the shiny pyrite.
