Small, angular grains indicate deposition in an ephemeral river system near to the clast source
Perfect size for use in classroom identification labs and exercises, correlates well to Next Generation Science Standards Evidence Statements
Great for offering a modest challenge to students during identification and depositional history exercises
Specimen comes in clear labeled and barcoded bag for ideal storage
Arkose is a clastic sedimentary rock made up of angular, poorly-sorted sand-size grains. The large, proximal nature of the clasts in arkose make this a useful specimen for identifying the provenance and interpreting the depositional environment for the rock. This sample is also available in packs of 12.
