Learning that a shiny rock is fool’s gold rather than the valuable mineral is generally cause for disappointment. But for scientists who discovered a new 450-million-year-old arthropod preserved in ...

A new 450-million-year-old fossil arthropod, preserved in 3D by iron pyrite (fool’s gold), has been unveiled by scientists. The new species, Lomankus edgecombei, is distantly related to spiders ...

Named Lomankus edgecombei, the arthropod is a remarkably bright golden color because it’s preserved in three dimensions by iron pyrite — a mineral better known as fool’s gold. The fossil ...

it’s invaluable lookalike was named “fool’s gold” for obvious reasons. Now, though, pyrite might be getting the last laugh. To understand why, you have to understand that lithium is one of ...

The ancient, gilt creatures represent a new species, and hint at the anatomy of an iconic group of arthropods.

The limited air allowed for iron pyrite, or fool’s gold, to replace parts of its body after it was buried, creating the perfect formula for a gold 3D fossil. The megacheiran was found in upstate ...

also known as 'fool's gold', which infiltrated the remains after the animal's death. The iron pyrite occupied the cavities and replicated the animal's forms, resulting in exceptional golden shine ...

In a study published Tuesday in the journal Current Biology, experts reveal that the surprisingly well-preserved specimen was fossilized in 3D by iron pyrite, also known as fool’s gold ...

The animals preserved there lived in a hostile, low oxygen environment. That allowed iron pyrite, commonly known as fool's gold, to replace parts of their bodies after they were buried, resulting in ...

Strickland Metals has nailed a 41m drill hit grading 4 grams per tonne gold in Serbia that was part of a massive 272m ...
