Cross-section of a relatively preserved brachiopod from the Tramadocian phosphorite formations of Estonia. The specimen still presents almost pristine laminae structures with high porosity (originally organic-rich layers) and few zones pyritised due the degradation of organic tissues and micro-redox conditions.
