(NS) Meta-Pelite Suite -- Shelburne, Nova Scotia
Description
An account of the resource
Samples from the Shelburne area representative of the full range of metamorphic grades.

Title
A name given to the resource
Staurolite-garnet-biotite schist
Description
An account of the resource
Macroscopic: Staurolite, garnet, biotite porphyroblastic, chlorite bearing, muscovite schist. Both garnets and staurolite are idiomorphic with the former highly poikiloblastic. The foliation in the schist bends around the porphyroblastic phases indicating the porphyroblasts were formed earlier during metamorphism. Microscopic: Both thin section pictures show the texture of the fine grained biotite around garnet and staurolite phenocrysts. Thin section pictures in XPL unless otherwise noted in the title of the picuture. Thin sections are 3mm across.

Title
A name given to the resource
(SFM) Igneous Suite -- St. Francois Mountains, Southeastern Missouri
Description
An account of the resource
This collection is composed of igneous volcanic and intrusive rocks from the St. Francois Mountains of Missouri. The variation within the collection can be used to explain the geologic history of the area. The St. Francois Mountains batholith was formed by granitic intrusions into Precambrian rhyolites, tuffs, and breccias. Then basalt, diabase, and porphyritic intrusions cut the granitoids.

Title
A name given to the resource
(SFM) Igneous Suite -- St. Francois Mountains, Southeastern Missouri
Description
An account of the resource
This collection is composed of igneous volcanic and intrusive rocks from the St. Francois Mountains of Missouri. The variation within the collection can be used to explain the geologic history of the area. The St. Francois Mountains batholith was formed by granitic intrusions into Precambrian rhyolites, tuffs, and breccias. Then basalt, diabase, and porphyritic intrusions cut the granitoids.

A name given to the resource
(GC) Grand Canyon Stratigraphic Suite -- Grand Canyon, Arizona
Description
An account of the resource
This collection contains 21 samples. They are a representation of samples of lithology from the early precambrian to the late permian. The stratigraphic sequence contains a variety of rocks including, but not limited to schist, limestone, and sandstone. These specimens are representative of the geologic section in the Grand Canyon, but no specimens were collected within the boundaries of the National Park.

Title
A name given to the resource
(GC) Grand Canyon Stratigraphic Suite -- Grand Canyon, Arizona
Description
An account of the resource
This collection contains 21 samples. They are a representation of samples of lithology from the early precambrian to the late permian. The stratigraphic sequence contains a variety of rocks including, but not limited to schist, limestone, and sandstone. These specimens are representative of the geologic section in the Grand Canyon, but no specimens were collected within the boundaries of the National Park.
