Polarised LM of Bracklesham limestone, thin section

Polarised light micrograph of Bracklesham limestone in thin section. The limestone takes its name from the town on the south coast of England where the limestone beds are found. The sediments that form this limestone were laid down in the early paleocene period of around 60 million years ago. The concentric circular object seen is a section through the foraminifer Nummulites laevigatus that typify this formation. Magnification x40 at 35mm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a polarised light micrograph of Bracklesham limestone in thin section. The name of this limestone is derived from the town located on England's picturesque south coast, where these unique limestone beds can be found. These sediments were deposited during the early Paleocene period, approximately 60 million years ago. The focal point of this image is a mesmerizing concentric circular object, which represents a cross-section through the foraminifer Nummulites laevigatus. This particular foraminifer species is characteristic of the Bracklesham limestone formation and serves as an important indicator of its geological history. With a magnification level of x40 at 35mm size, this photograph provides an intricate glimpse into the world beneath our feet. Its vibrant colors and intricate patterns offer valuable insights into the geomorphology and composition of sedimentary rocks. As we admire this stunning visual representation captured by Science Photo Library, it reminds us that Earth's geological wonders are not only awe-inspiring but also hold significant scientific value. Whether studying alveolina or bracklesham limestone formations or exploring rock sections, photographs like these allow us to delve deeper into our planet's rich geological past and understand its complex processes.
