Crinoidal Limestone thin section slide exhibiting a cross sectional view of crinoid stems and ossicles held within a calcite cement. Not all of the intricate detail has been preserved in the crinoids but this offers an opportunity to interpret the diagenetic history of the rock by analysing the nature, shape and relationship of the minerals present. This crinoidal limestone from Derbyshire was laid down in a shallow tropical sea around 300 million years ago in the Carboniferous. 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.

A small hand sample of fossil limestone containing numerous small Scyphocrinites crinoid stem fragments. Crinoids are fossilised sea lilies, these particular sample come from South Morocco. Often the stems are only preserved in fragments as can be seen. Samples measure approx in 3″ size and come in a small card tray with a label.

Magnesian Limestone thin section microscope slide. This material belongs to the Zechstein Formation; a highly studied sedimentary formation which was laid down in the epeiric Zechstein Sea during the Mid to Late Permian Period. This material was sourced around Tadcaster in North Yorkshire and was deposited when the UK was situated at an equatorial latitude.

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.

Lignite thin section slide. Lignite coal and indeed all other varieties of coal are classed as organic sedimentary rocks. It has a high carbon content 25 – 35% & a moisture content up to 66%. The high volatile component of lignite is clearly reflected in the thin section view, particularly when compared with those of higher grade coals.

Welded tuff thin section slide exhibiting a jumbled mass of irregularly sized broken clasts held in situ by finer ash particles which have become welded together. This material was collected from Cumbria, the original rock is likely rhyolite, and indeed in hand specimen the tuff almost still looks like rhyolite and appears to show a form of banding.

Cordierite Hornfels thin section microscope slide exhibiting a dark colour and a characteristic none crystalline form. Fine grains fit together like the fragments of a mosaic, this is often referred to as rough pavement or pavement structure. Larger crystals of cordierite can be seen scattered throughout the fine matrix.
