Sand Peel
Sand peels are created by applying an adhesive, such as epoxy or resin, to the wall of a trench in modern sand deposits and to a backing material such as wood or fabric. When the adhesive sets the backing material can be lifted away leaving a thin layer of the sand adhered to the backing material, with depositional features intact. Sand peels allow for the capture of details in sedimentary features for analysis away from the field, or for use in teaching.
