All thumbnails provide links to larger image files (up to 200 kb) so that the details of each
slide can be seen. Please feel free to download the images for your reference. Many are of
a large enough size that they can printed as photographs if so desired.
The species we list for each slide are not always the only ones in the slides. Careful
examination may reveal more, especially when one starts looking for the tiny spores, fungi
and fragments of arthropods. You have to look long and hard as there is so much preserved
in the chert that you just don't know what you might find!
