Shelly limestone thin section slide exhibiting the calcareous remains of various fauna. These thin sections complement the hand specimens nicely and allow for more precise paleoenvironmental interpretations to made on the basis of their fossil constituents. Analyses of the grain and mineral characteristics allows for a diagenetic history to be determined, perfect for educational use. In hand specimen the rock could be described as a white to pale grey fine grained fossiliferous tufaceous limestone. We collected this material from Cretaceous strata in Yorkshire. The thin 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.
