Full description
Petrological and some geochemical analysis methods require the sample to be made into a thin or thick section. This record provides a series of shell cross-sectional images and also outlines the process involved in thin/thick section preparation.This is part of a project that assesses the viability of interpretating environmental records (such as temperature, salinity and heavy metal pollution) from shell geochemistry through trace element and isotopic analysis.

Statement: See download: Thick-section preparation
Statement: Unfortunately scale bars are not provided on the sections, however users are welcome to contact Sarah directly for exact measurements. As an approximate sizing-guide the mounting slides are 25mm in width.
