Inorganic objects, markings, and impressions can be misleading as mineral deposits can form lightly detailed structures, and contain fossils.ĭendrites are crystaline pseudo-fossil structures that are often mistaken for fossils. Dendritic morphology was more distinct at PEO/TA 70/30 composition, where the spherulitic growth rate showed a highly nonlinear relationship with respect to crystallization time (R t 1/2). Pseudo-fossils are mineral deposits that can mimic fossilized lifeforms. The cell crystallography preference in correlation to the intermolecular interaction in the dendrites in PEO/TA (70/30) blend was analyzed. Any one of these pieces would be great displayed in a collection, or in the home or office as decor. Reminding us how beautiful things take time to form. These pieces of shale feature dynamic Dendrite crystal formations, along with other inclusions. The dendrite crystals evolved through (1) episodic growth, (2) overgrowth of the original crystals during subsequent phases of calcite precipitation, (3) detrital calcite crystals that grew in the water column before settling on and between the dendrite branches, and (4) etching during periodic microbe infestations.
