- Dust & ash deposited during explosive volcanic eruptions can become compacted and lithified over time, forming large packages of tuff. These layers show a record of the eruptions size & intensity, and allow geologists to estimate the rate of activity
- Ideal for identification & classification exercises. This set of six samples is excellent for group study and examination
- Each specimen is selected and hand processed, ensuring each sample exhibits defining features
- Sourced from a variety of locations around the world
- Each specimen sample is packaged in a transparent bag, and is labeled & barcoded for easy identification
Dust & ash deposited during explosive volcanic eruptions can become compacted and lithified over time, forming large packages of tuff. These layers show a record of the eruptions size & intensity, and allow geologists to estimate the rate of activity. Ideal for teaching students about rounding and sorting, as well as for identification & classification exercises.
While each specimen will vary slightly in shape, size and color, it will measure approximately 1" in length. Each is individually packaged, labeled & barcoded for easy identification and storage.
Each specimen is selected and hand processed, ensuring that each sample exhibits defining features. Pack of 12 samples.
