ⓘ Baryte
Formula: BaSO4
ⓘ Calcite
Formula: CaCO3
Localities: Reported from at least 6 localities in this region.
Habit: Skalenohedral.
Colour: White to light brown.
Description: The calcite crystals are growing inside the Sprifier shells. A theory is that these were formed inside the shells where the animal is still inside. They were probably buried in a cataclismic event like an earthquake or landslide. Most shells are just stony and probably dead but from time to time, one with the animal inside was found.
