Torridonian Sandstone

£2.25£6.00 ex VAT

Specimens of Torridonian Sandstone, collected from Torridon, Scotland. These sandstones date from the Pre-Cambrian and are amongst the oldest rocks to be found in the UK. These rocks are part of the Torridonian Supergroup which includes arkoses, shales and conglomerates, and overlie the older Lewisian Rocks. These Torridonian Sandstones are typically hard, with a grain size that ranges from coarse to fine. They often display trough or planar cross bedding which suggests a palaeocurrent flowing from the North West out across large fan deltas. These rocks are dark red to brown in colour, indicating a partly arid (dry) depositional environment. These specimens are available in multiple sizes and come supplied in a white card tray with information label.

We also supply Torridonian Sandstone thin sections for microscope study which are available to buy HERE.
