This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Didn't they also used to make paint out of them? 'Mummy Brown' was a popular thing or smthn.

Yes! I believe it was actually called Mummy Brown! Watched a video about it on YouTube I think within the last year, I think the Smithsonian or someone still has an archived sample of the pigment.
