Fossiliferous shale microscope slide showing thin black lenses of organic matter ( in XPL view ) which fell from suspension in very low energy environments. Some thin sections offer an unexpected insight into just how heterogeneous these particularly fine grained sediments can be. Occasional fragments of shell can be recognised from fauna including bivalves, ammonites and belemnites. Bioturbation traces can sometimes be seen punctuating the organic matrix. Naturally we cannot guarantee what each slide will exhibit but we can guarantee that the slides are made from organic shale which we collected from the deep marine, Jurassic sediments of the Yorkshire coast. 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.

Siltstone microscope slide exhibiting the fine to very fine grained nature of this sedimentary rock. The slides often show concentrated bands of mica which punctuate the dominant quartz mass. Excellent to observe the nature of the minerals and distinguish the history of the rock. The glass slide is 46 x 27 mm in size, suitable for enthusiasts, educational use and more, it will come in card sleeve with a label.

Specimens of Ribbon Banded Mudstone, collected from North Wales. In particular, these specimens are Silurian in age & specifically from the Nantglyn Flag Group of the Denbigh Grit Formation. This largely grey rock shows alternating bands of fossiliferous mudstone and laminated muddy siltstone with subordinate thin pale green to yellowish lenticular bands of calcareous siltstones. These specimens are available in multiple sizes and come supplied in a white card tray with an information label.

Specimens of Shale, collected from Yorkshire. Shale is a fine grained, clastic sedimentary rock composed of mud. This mud is a mixture of clay mineral flakes and tiny fragments of other minerals, especially quartz and calcite. Shale is characterised by thin laminae, parallel layering or bedding, less than one centimetre in thickness. This makes the rock very fissile. Shales are associated with quiet water deposition, such as in lakes, lagoons or deltas. For these specimens in particular, the depositional environment was deep water marine from the Jurassic formations of the Yorkshire coast. These specimens are available in multiple sizes and come supplied in a white card tray with information label.
We also supply Shale thin sections for microscope study which are available to buy HERE.

Obsidian, also known as ‘volcanic glass’ is a felsic, extrusive igneous rock. Crystal growth is minimal / absent within obsidian due to rapid solidification rates which inhibit crystal growth thus giving the rock a glassy appearance.

Oolitic limestone thin section slide exhibiting textbook ooid grains, some with a clear nucleus and concentric calcareous layers. These microscope slides supplement the hand specimens nicely and allow for a more detailed view of the ooid grains and an opportunity to intepret the diagenetic history of the rock.

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.

Gabbro thin section exhibiting some of the textbook features one would expect from this coarse, mafic igneous rock. These slides supplement the hand specimens nicely and are useful for interpreting the crystalisation history of the rock.
We provide a full range of igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic and mineral thin sections. Click here to view them. Should you require a microscope, they can be found here.

Old red sandstone microscope slide exhibiting the well sorted nature of this particular sediment. Excellent to observe the nature of the minerals and interpret the history of the rock. The glass slide is 46 x 27 mm in size, suitable for enthusiasts, educational use and more, it will come in card sleeve with a label.

A thin section of mylonite which was collected from the metamorphic region of Lom, Central Norway. Mylonite is a fine-grained, compact rock produced by dynamic recrystallisation of the constituent minerals resulting in a reduction of the grain size of the rock.

These thin sections exhibit beautiful crystals of olivine, pyroxene and augite, which often shows oscillatory zonation held within a matrix of plagioclase feldspar. The slides supplement the hand specimens nicely and are useful for interpreting the crystallisation history of the rock.

Hornblende Gneiss thin section slide exhibiting an abundance of the mafic mineral hornblende, accompanied by less abundant biotite mica, quartz and feldspar. This material was collected by staff from Southern Norway. Each section is made to 30 microns thickness and the glass is 46 x 27 mm in size, ideal for microscopy and educational purposes.

Microgranite thin section slide exhibiting the medium grained nature of this intrusive igneous rock. The crystals in microgranite are smaller than those of normal granite indicating that it cooled at a quicker rate.
