A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Oh yea, you can cook it with any vegetable, fruit, or flower, milk, and rock salt to get a tough seafood stew. I those are pretty powerful, like your defense goes up for 5 minutes.
Alternatively mix it with monster parts and you get an elixir but what fun is that?
Pretty sure this was a pokemon first, nature is gunna get sued by nintendo.
What's organic iron?
Doesn't exist. Some metals can form organometallic complexes (with CO, CN, methyl groups), in which case you get for instance "organic mercury" compounds. Iron can also do that, but that's not what theyre talking about here.
What they mean is "biogenic" iron. The snail precipitates dissolved iron and sulfur in the water to form its shell out of iron sulfide. Its a different physical structure, but chemically similar to iron pyrite (fools gold).
organic iron plates, not plates of organic iron.
the plates are generated by an organic process, not out of organic materials.
you can't just remove a word from the context and act as if that doesn't change the meaning.

Makes sense, thanks

Well, I'm not a native english speaker and the title seemed at least misleading.
fair enough! I see now that my comment might look a little antagonizing, that was not what I wanted to express, sorry bout that.
No problem, man. Languages are bitches!
Looks like iron sulfide, pyrite, and greigite in this case.
Highlights from this rabbit hole: "imbricating chitinous sclerites" and "conchiolin".

Is that like his tail, or is he constantly making a kissy kissy face?
Pretty sure this is just a screenshot from Slay The Spire 2
In case you're wondering what the hell is meant by "organic iron", it's normal inorganic iron sulphides.

Reminds me of the hail Mary alien
yes it's a very pretty skirt
