Thin Section Petrology Data & Image Bank

This resource is provided to act as a reference for educational purposes in addition to disseminating our research. It is intended that apart from being an on-line resource, it should be possible to download images of thin-sections for MS Power Point type presentations. When a Power Point resolution file is available, clicking the image will link the user to an image suitable for download. Other links will be provided to images of pottery that have been thin-sectioned, or of types that have been thin-sectioned.
