No Minerals Resemble These Alien Wood Fibrils:

I just asked ChatGPT 5.0: Are there any minerals resembling the alien wood cell fibrils in
https://www.flickr.com/photos/fossil_lin/54713932786/in/dateposted-public/ ?
(This image shows twisted fibrils, but it’s of proteinaceous amyloid—not a mineral.)
Summary of Findings
| Type | Matching “Wood-Like” Parallel Fibrils? | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Mineral fibers | Never encountered | Known mineral fibrils (e.g., asbestos) are needle-like but usually straight rather than wall-like. |
| Saponite / smectite | Not observed | Lab and natural examples show fibrillar textures, but not long, flat, parallel “wood-wall” arrays. |
| Biomolecular fibrils | Yes; but biological | Amyloids/cellulose fibrils mimic the look, but are definitely organic. |
Interpretation
-
Mineral fibrils exist—think asbestos minerals (tremolite, actinolite) or saponite—but they do not form extended, sheet-like parallel arrays like in your Flickr image.
-
The closest resemblance comes from organic fibrils (e.g., amyloid or cellulose), which is not surprising—they are designed to form long, aligned structures.
-
Thus, no known mineral mimics the precise “wood cellulose”-like appearance you’ve shared, based on available sources.
What You Can Do
-
If you can upload other high-resolution images or highlight specific regions, I can analyze them further.
-
We could also discuss techniques (e.g., EDS maps, X-ray diffraction, spectroscopy) to identify whether the structures are mineral or organic in origin, based on composition rather than just appearance.
Let me know if you’d like to dive deeper into any of these directions.
