Red marl thin section slide taken from Lower Triassic strata belonging to the Mercia Mudstone Group, formerly known as the Keuper Marls. Marl describes rock which is a calcium carbonate rich i.e. 35% – 65% CaCO3 with the remainder being clay with varying amounts of silt. The red marl owes its colour to oxidised iron compounds present in the sediment. This material was deposited in Sahara-like desert conditions when the British Isles was thought to have been about 15 degrees north of the Equator. We collected this particular material around Westbury upon Severn in Gloucestershire, UK. The slides are 30 microns thick and measure 46 x 27 mm in size and have a cover slip of the section along with a protective cardboard sleeve.

Chalk thin section microscope slide composed of the debris of calcareous planktonic algae i.e. minute calcite shells known as Coccoliths which detach from micro-organisms known as Coccolithophores. This material is Cretaceous in age and it came from Yorkshire. The glass is 46 x 27 mm in size, supplied in a protective card sleeve with a label, ideal for microscopy, petrology & educational use.

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.

This red coloured Marl is a lime (Calcium Carbonate) rich mudstone from the Triassic of Gloucestershire. They are supplied in labelled card trays.
Travertine thin section slide. Travertine is a form of limestone deposited by mineral rich springs, especially hot springs. It is formed by the rapid precipitation of calcium carbonate, often at the margins of a hot spring or in a limestone caves.

Metaquartzite thin section slide exhibiting a fine, interlocking mosaic of quartz crystals characteristic of this metamorphic rock. Each section is made to 30 microns thickness and the glass is 46 x 27 mm, ideal for microscopy and educational purposes.This material was collected near Holyhead on the Isle of Anglesey, North Wales.

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.

Granite adamellite thin section slide exhibiting crystals of quartz, biotite and feldspar. We collected this material from the famous Shap Fell quarry, in Cumbria hence the rocks alternative name ‘ Shap Granite ‘.
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.

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.

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.
10 in stock
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.

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.
