Fool's gold is iron pyrite. Iron pyrite is a brassy yellow mineral that is often mistaken for gold.

" Fool's gold" 是指黄铁矿。黄铁矿是有着黄铜色黄色矿物，们经常把它误认成金子。

These particular fossils had all formed through a process called prioritization whereby pyrite a substance also known as fool's gold and composed of iron sulfide seeped into the tissues of the dead animals and mineralized them.

这些特定化石都是通过一个称为优先化过程形成，这个过程中，黄铁矿（又称愚金，由硫化铁成）渗入死动物并使其矿化。

But the waste product that these chemolithoautotrophs make is often in the form of minerals, like rust or pyrite, like fool's gold, or carminites, like limestone.

但这些化自养生物产生废物通常是以矿物质形式，比如铁锈或黄铁矿， 像愚金， 或者像石灰岩这样碳酸盐矿物。

Oh, sulfur, rock salt, ashes, thunderstone, and pyrite, and pound fine in a black mortar at midday sun.

哦， 硫磺、岩盐、灰烬、雷石和黄铁矿，然后正午阳光下用黑色研钵研磨成细粉。

I think it was fool's gold or pyrite.

我认为这是傻瓜金或黄铁矿。

So I think it's more likely that that's a sulfur breakdown product just because I think that the pyrite takes longer to form.

所以我认为这更有可能是硫分解产物，因为我认为黄铁矿需要更长时间才能形成。

Yeah I think pyrite takes quite a long time to form.

是，我认为黄铁矿需要很长时间才能形成。
