Chlorophyllite

/ˌklɔːrəˈfɪlaɪt/ noun

Definition

A fossilized or decomposed form of chlorophyll found in ancient rocks and sediments.

Etymology

From chlorophyll + the geological suffix -ite, indicating a mineral or fossilized substance.

Kelly Says

Chlorophyllite is essentially fossilized plant green pigment—scientists can sometimes find traces of ancient chlorophyll in fossils millions of years old, which tells us what color prehistoric plants really were!
