Shell cross sections of the bivalve Saccostrea glomerata collected from Pambula Lake, NSW

Petrological and some geochemical analysis methods require the sample to be made into a thin or thick section. This record provides a series of shell cross-sectional images and also outlines the process involved in thin/thick section preparation.

This is part of a project that assesses the viability of interpretating environmental records (such as temperature, salinity and heavy metal pollution) from shell geochemistry through trace element and isotopic analysis.

岩石学及部分地球化学分析方法要求将样品制备为薄片或厚切片。本数据集记录包含一系列贝壳横截面图像，并概述了薄片/厚切片制备的相关流程。
本数据集隶属于一项科研项目，该项目旨在通过微量元素与同位素分析，评估利用贝壳地球化学数据解译温度、盐度、重金属污染等环境记录的可行性。
