The mechanisms by which soft-bodied organisms were preserved in late Ediacaran deep-marine environments are revealed by petrographic and geochemical investigation of fossil-bearing surfaces from the ...

Curtin University research has found tiny amounts of gold can be trapped inside pyrite, commonly known as 'fool's gold', which would make it much more valuable than its name suggests. This study, ...

The development of new techniques for the rapid measurement of the temperature of deposition of pyrite and the degree of filling of two-phase fluid inclusions has made it possible to determine ...

"Fool's gold" (pyrite) is nice to look at, but not especially useful. That could change if the findings of a small study hold up. Unexpectedly higher levels of lithium – an element that's in enormous ...

Though long derided as 'fool's gold,' pyrite might actually contain trace amounts of the precious metal that could be extracted through environmentally friendly means. Researchers at Curtin University ...
