Millstone grit thin section slide exhibiting the coarse and siliceous nature of this British Carboniferous coarse sandstone. The thin section shows the often poorly sorted, coarse and relatively angular clasts one would expected from rapid deposition in a high energy deltaic environment. These thin sections supplement the hand specimens nicely and would make useful educational tools for interpreting the transportation and diagenetic history of the rock. This rock was collected near Horwich, Bolton. 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.

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.
We also supply Millstone Grit thin sections for microscope study which are available to buy HERE.

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.

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.

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.

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 quartz clasts are visible but these have recrystallised to form a fine, interlocking mosaic of quartz within the original grain cast.
