WD_86_10

IraAraET4 — Sherd ET4 from Ira Ara (Timor). Slide WD_86_10 from Dickinson Collection, Bishop Museum. x4 Magnification PPL (left) XPL (right). Scale bar: 0.5mm. High resolution image in VIMIPO (user: Guest pwd: Guest). Imaged by K. Hardy and M. Leclerc, ANU.

Hybrid sand composed predominantly of calcareous limeclasts made of diagenetic microspar, with which subordinate terrigenous grains of quartz and feldspar. Derived from the erosion of indurated limestone on Timor.

WD_86_11

IraAraET5 — Sherd ET5 from Ira Ara (Timor). Slide WD_86_11 from Dickinson Collection, Bishop Museum. x4 Magnification PPL (left) XPL (right). Scale bar: 0.5mm. High resolution image or full slide in VIMIPO (user: Guest pwd: Guest). Imaged by K. Hardy and M. Leclerc, ANU.

Hybrid coastal sand (metamorphic terrigenous detritus). Moderately to well sorted, subrounded hybrid (mixed calcareous and terrigenous aggregate) temper sands of presumed beach origin in which terrigenous grains were derived from foliated metasedimentary bedrock.
