Back to overview
of collections from Hans Schaub
Collection of thin sections of Hans Schaub:
This is a large collection of thin sections from nummulite
and assilina- bearing rocks from many locations and sections in
Switzerland, Spain, France and other provenances. They were used
in various studies and publications. The five-digit numbers on
each preparations help to identify the provenances of the samples
(first two digits indicate the year of sampling, last three digits
indicate the sample in the field section). Rock-pieces and cuts
to these slides are kept separately in the raw materials collection
from the Tethys area of Hans Schaub (deposited in Compactus G).
There exist several catalogues and indexes with the Schaub collection
with listings and locations from where all the samples came from.
Because the nummulite collection of Hans Schaub is very large
it is at this moment out of scope (and impossible) to give a full
on-line inventory of nummulite samples. Indicated below is therefore
a brief and dirty survey showing the ranges of field-numbers of
thin sections per lot. Interested parties can so easier locate
a particular series of thin-sections and eventually link them
to the vast materials deposited in the raw material collection
of Hans Schaub. For information about the provenance of the materials
consult the sample documentation prepared by Hans Schaub.
