NAGT has a new Rock and Mineral Exchange on their website: http://nagt.org/nagt/teaching_resources/exchange/index.html

This would be a great place to exchange thin sections as well. You could discuss loans with others on that site too, although it hasn't been set up for that initially.

Subject: Request for loaner thin sections or thin section images, to go with Ward's Petro Lab Metamorphic Rock Set.

Hi all,
Any chance you have the Ward's Petro Lab Metamorphic rock set thin sections or images of thin sections that I might borrow? Or would you have your own images of sections for these kinds of rocks?

(The rocks are cordierite hornfels, phyllite, granitoid gneiss, staurolite quartzite, kyanite quartzite, sillimanite garnet gneiss, and cummingtonite schist.)

Desperately seeking thin sections/teaching images,
Dawn
