Crystalline Structure discovered in odyssey!

everyone in the EDC kept saying it didnt exist in odyssey
Well they were wrong, it wouldn't be the first time someone was wrong, they have been there since day 1 of Odyssey, I made a point of checking Brain Trees and Chrystaline Shards the moment Odyssey went live!.
I don't know what EDC is but that might be a miscommunication over the change in how raw mats can be farmed in Odyssey, Crystal Shard sites are no longer the meta.
it seems to be the same materials as in odyssey, all rare raw's with the exception of selenium
"Elite dangerous community" its a discord
There's some deep and profound meaning in that sentence.
EDC, in Elite, can mean a number of things. I personally am not a member of any discord and never intend to be, it's important when we use a common acronym (ie and acronym that is used for multiple meanings) that we avoid confusion by actually explaining what it is, I had no idea myself. However they are indeed wrong and they have always been there, however the mat drop was affected by the same mat bug that affected all other drops and they were only giving a reduced quality mat for a long time, maybe that is what they meant by no longer being there, as mat collection sites!
The problem comes from two things:
1. In Odyssey, the bio features are far more spread out on the body. Your screenshot has like 5 shards in it.. far far less of a concentration than in EDH. And they are harder/longer to find because they don't have nav markers anymore. What's the stuff on the radar to the right, though?
2. There is/was a bug where the material drops were inconsistent.
No one said the shards don't exist, but it's fair to say the forests are severely nerfed and that one should switch to EDH for farming raw mats. If the stuff to the right on your screenshot is more shards then they'd still be harder to find than in EDH.
People said they weren't there because they are now distributed differently on the surface.Guys, the crystalline forest exists in odyssey! Heres proof!
But I would like to know if they are any better now graphically? I used to enjoy them already in Horizons in VR, but I was hoping for some improvement in the scenery for Odyssey.
Haven't done any raw mat farming yet in ODY - what's the meta now??

Ring mining I think, it's where all mine come from now.
Haven't done any mining in ODY yet, but I have only found G1 stuff, is there high grade stuff now ?!

1) The rest of the shards were behind me, all the screenshot was to do was to prove that it the crystalline shards are in fact still there. They arent that much harder to find either, you just need to educate yourself on how to use the surface scanner in odyssey. I quite literally found them within seconds after coming out of orbital cruise.
2)Never tested it so i wouldnt know.
But seriously in the EDC, most people were saying they didnt exist because they heard it from somewhere else. But i have confirmed it does exist.
Looked suspiciously like Polonium according to the screenshot...
