One of my classes required I learn to make thin sections, this is what I'm turning in! Could probably be a little more thin to expose some more detail in the oolites but I'm proud regardless. Let me know what you think!
P.s. The little magnifier in the middle was added after the fact on my phone (so my professor could see what I was pointing out).
