WD_85_7
M64 has a full slide scan available. 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.
WD_86_11
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.
WD_18_7
Similar to fluvial buru, but with calcareous beach sand. Metamorphic.
WD_85_6
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.
