Conglomerate thin section slide exhibiting abundant rounded biogenic and clastic sediments held in place by either a fine grained matrix and/or calcite cement. The thin sections for the Farringdon conglomerate supplement the hand specimens nicely. The fauna within the biogenic limestone clasts can be used to help interpret the local paleoenvironment during the time of formation and by analysing the relationship between grains and minerals present a diagenetic history can be interpreted. The section is made to 30 microns thickness and the glass is 46 x 27 mm in size with a cover slip. Supplied in a protective card sleeve with a label, ideal for microscopy.

Puddingstone Conglomerate £2.30 – £9.20 ex VAT
Specimen Size
1.5 " x 1.5"2" x 2"3" x 2"4" x 3"

Puddingstone conglomerate is a rare sedimentary rock from Hertfordshire, UK which formed during the Paleocene to Eocene period. Composed of rounded flint clasts within a silica matrix, this rock is quite hard and breaks with conchoidal fractures. Formed through erosion of flint pebbles which were later cemented by sand and silica, it is an excellent representation of conglomerate, detailing rounded clasts within a matrix. The specimens are available in 4 sizes and come supplied in a card tray with a label.
