Lustrous, sharp, brass-yellow pyrite crystals nearly cover this elongate, rounded, egg-like shale concretion from the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport. This is a pristine, floater specimen. This locality is now extinct, as runway expansion obliterated the stream bank, where these were found in a Cretaceous shale layer.
