Glauconite Sand Photomicrographs

Glauconitic argillaceous, siliciclastic sandstone with detrital glauconitic sand occurring in a condensed section.

Detrital fragments of glauconite (green) in argillaceous, calcareous (stained red with alizarin red S), siliciclastic sand, with pyrite crystals (black) (under plane polarized light) (PPL).
