Thin sections and polished sections from Wisconsin
Summary
Thin sections prepared primarily in the course of research conducted by geologists of the Wisconsin Geological Survey. There appears to be a set of USGS-related thin sections, as well, but these are not evaluated at this time. Thin sections are tied to field notebooks, which are being reviewed as time allows. Certain physical collections have been located, but their geographic location is uncertain until the field notebooks can be tied to the actual thin section. We must tie physical materials to field notebooks in order to develop geographic coordinates for specific thin sections. Work to date has identified locations of physical items and is currently focused on assessing the notebooks themselves. There are 1,700 items in this collection. [...]
