Description: Microscopic image of a thin section (magnification 10x) of clastic (minerogenic) varves from Oeschinensee, Switzerland. The pale and sandy layer (siliciclastic) is formed during summer and the dark and clayey layer (with calcite) during winter. This sequence is from 47-50 cm sediment depth and associated to a cold anomaly detected in Switzerland for AD 1914-1926.
