Baryte on Calcite

 

TAB48XXX: Two groups of Baryte crystals, one of them forming a rosette aggregate of cream color and the other a fibrous-radial aggregate, possibly replacing a fossil shell and preserving its original structure, with the terminations being more whitish. They are on a matrix of very fine-grained clayey rock, whitish, completely covered by cream-colored Calcite crystals of a darker tone and lustrous, partially coating a botryoidal aggregate with another possible fossil shell.

Warden Bay is a coastal area known for its Eocene clay cliffs (London Clay Formation), rich in fossils and concretions. It is a classic locality for the occurrence of Baryte and Pyrite nodules and crystals, formed under reducing sedimentary conditions, often associated with organic remains.
Warden Bay, Isle of Sheppey island, Kent County  England / United Kingdom
