1. Brachiopoda > Articulata > Rhynchonellata > Athyridida > Athyrididae > Composita
2. Naturally smooth shell, plus weathering polishes the surface (sand and water)
3. Devonian - Permian
4. Marine
5. Benthic sessile filter feeder

Cool.

Question:
What is the difference between siderite and pyrophyllite?

Well not sure what your looking for but the specific gravities, hardness, color, chemical formula, etc
