Forty mineral thin sections for Petrography Studies

When minerals, rocks, and fossils cannot be accurately identified by macroscopic observation and testing, thin section slides can reveal the composition and structure of the specimens on a microscopic level.

Fine, common limestone; massive, and will fizzle with HCl.

Foliated biotite, coarse, silvery gray with quartz-feldspar bands.

Red clastic rock composed of sand sized particles and hematite.

Limestone is a gray calcium carbonate that will fizz with dilute HCl.

Gray to tan clastic rock made of silt sized particles.

Breccia is a sedimentary rock made up of angular rock fragments.

Bituminous rich black shale for hands-on investigations.

Carbonate rock formed by the precipitation from water.

Pegmatite is igneous rock similar to granite but with larger crystals.

Obsidian is hard black colored, volcanic glass.

Scoria is a dark-colored rock formed from lava with a high gas content.
