Superb additions Mike! Nice to have the set of three like that, never seen anything like them before. Is the middle one an actual thin section?

Cheers

Thanks!

None are thin sections. They are all mounts of various sized fragments. The two on the far left and far right are capsule mounts. The middle is for polarized scopes.

very nice
interesting that the first main constituent was noted as 'flint'

in fact all 3 chief constituents are noteworthy
