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。黄铁是有着黄铜色的黄色物，人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.

这些特定的化石都是通过一个化的过程形成的，这个过程中，黄铁（愚人金，由硫化铁组成）渗入死动物的组织并使其化。

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.

但这些化学自养生物产生的废物通常是以物质的形式，比如铁锈或黄铁， 像愚人金， 或者像石灰岩这样的碳酸盐物。

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，然后正午的阳光下用黑色研钵研磨成细粉。

I think it was fool's gold or pyrite.

我认这是傻瓜的金或黄铁。

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.

所以我认这更有可能是硫分解产物，因我认黄铁需要更长的时间才能形成。

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

是的，我认黄铁需要很长时间才能形成。
