Specimens of Crinoidal Limestone, collected from Derbyshire in the UK. Limestone is a common, well known sedimentary rock. It consists of the calcium-rich shells, bones, and skeletons of the fauna that dominated during that period. It was laid down approximately 350 million years ago in semi tropical seas and comes from the Dinantian epoch of the Lower Carboniferous. This limestone in particular contains crinoids which are a group of ancient marine invertebrates, and part of the sea lily family. Specimens are available in various sizes and come supplied in a white card tray with information label.
We also supply Crinoidal Limestone thin sections for microscope study which are available to buy HERE.

Specimens of Breccia, collected from the Manifold Valley in Staffordshire. Breccia is a term that describes coarse grained sedimentary rocks, with large angular clasts, surrounded by a finer grained matrix. Calcrete binds the clasts in these specimens, forming on calcareous materials in response to climatic fluctuations in arid and semi-arid regions. These specimens are available in multiple sizes and come supplied in a white card tray with information label.

Specimens of Travertine, collected from Yorkshire,UK. Travertine is a type of limestone which forms by the rapid precipitation of calcium carbonate, often at the margins of a hot spring or in limestone caves. It often has a fibrous or concentric banded appearance. Travertine is typically white or buff in colour, but can range through to orange and brown occasionally. It tends to be much denser and more compact than Tufa, and has notable uses as a decorative stone. Specimens are available in multiple sizes and come supplied in a white card tray with an information label.
We also supply Travertine thin sections for microscope study which are available to buy HERE.

Specimens of Limestone, collected from Derbyshire. Limestone is a common, well known sedimentary rock. It consists of the calcium-rich shells, bones, and skeletons of the fauna that dominated during that period. It was laid down approximately 350 million years ago in semi tropical seas and comes from the Dinantian epoch of the Lower Carboniferous. This rock is very pure, about 98% soluble in rainwater (over time) leaving only residual clay. Its uses include aggregate, building stone, the manufacture of cement, paper & calcium carbide. Available in various sizes, each piece comes supplied in a white card tray with information label.

Specimens of Salt Pseudomorphs on a limy matrix, collected from the Triassic Aust Cliff in Avon, UK. Salt Pseudomorphs serve as important inicators of paleoenvironmental conditions. They typically form in semi arid (dry) climates, where saline water evaporates, which leaves behind cubic salt crystals. These salt crystals later dissolve, occasionally preserving their cubic imprints These specimens are available in multiple sizes and come supplied in a white card tray with an information label.

Specimens of Millstone Grit, collected from Horwich, Bolton in the UK. Millstone Grit is part of the sandstone family and ranges from fine to very coarse grained. It is a feldspathic sandstone, interbedded with grey siltstones and mudstones, with subordinate marine shaly mudstone, claystone, coals and seatearths. It is Carboniferous (Namurian) in age and laid down in estuarine to tidal environments. Millstone Grit forms many prominent features throughout the north of England. These specimens are available in multiple sizes and come supplied in a white card tray with an information label.

Specimens of Coral Limestone, collected from Anglesey. Limestone is a common, well known sedimentary rock. It consists of the calcium-rich shells, bones, and skeletons of the fauna that dominated during that period. These specimens date to the Palaeozoic era around 300 million years ago. They were laid down in shallow tropical seas around 300 million years ago, in the Carboniferous. The composition of these specimens is primarily Lithostrotion corals. They are available in multiple sizes and come supplied in a white card tray with an information label.

Specimens of Oolitic Limestone, collected from Gloucestershire in the UK. Oolitic Limestone is a carbonate rock, that consists mostly of ooliths (or ooids). These are sand-sized carbonate particles (0.25 -2.0mm) built up of concentric shells of precipitated calcium carbonate (CaCO3). These layers form around sand grains or shell fragments that roll around on a shallow sub tropical sea floor, gathering layers of carbonate. Around the Cotswold Hills, the honey coloured stone has been the favoured building material for centuries. Many local picturesque hamlets showcase this. These specimens tend to be a little more friable than the examples from Yorkshire. These specimens are Mid Jurassic in age. They are available in multiple sizes and supplied in a white card tray with information label.

Specimens of Old Red Sandstone, collected from Gloucestershire in the UK. The Old Red Sandstone describes a suite of sedimentary rocks deposited in a variety of environments primarily during the Devonian period, but also extending back to the late Silurian, and on into the earliest parts of the Carboniferous. Alluvial sediments and conglomerates dominate at its base, then progresses to a combination of aeolian, lakes and river sediments. The familiar red colour of the rocks from the presence of Iron Oxide. These specimens are Lower Devonian in age, fine grained and pinkish red in colour. Available in multiple sizes, they come supplied in a white card tray with information label.
