Unexpected find lurking in a nest of crystals

Post by JW »

So there I was minding my own business, taking 5x shots of a sample of unusually well crystallized (for the locality) beraunite, an iron phosphate, from the old Bachman Iron Mine, in Hellertown, Pennsylvania, USA. After processing in ZS I noticed minute white threads scattered about, and then found this :shock: :

I assume its an egg from some critter, about 170 microns in diameter.

Any thoughts on what left this and the silk threads behind?

Additional images from the shoot:
