Microfossil Sample Slide - Miocene, Blue Clay, Malta.
Exceptional sample largely composed of fossil foraminifera, both planktonic (floating) and benthonic (bottom dwelling).
This sample slide is the result of much boiling and sieving of sample rock. It takes several hours to produce (depending on rock type). The slide is hand made from several layers of card with a glass cover slip inserted from the side to cover the sample. Cover slips are very fragile but easily and cheaply replaced. The cover slip can be moved sideways (with care) if you want to extract the sample to view on a petri dish etc.
Size:- 3.00 inches long approx.
Postage / Shipping Costs:- For multiple orders please request an invoice. I offer a large number of oddly shaped items that can vary enormously in weight. It is impossible to calculate an accurate postage cost for orders of more than one item in advance. Requesting an invoice will allow me to combine postage where appropriate and offer the lowest price possible.
