“…Patina is the ultra-thin weathering crust developed on glass, and has been the subject of many studies in relation to determining its origin, its usefulness for aging archaeological artefacts, and chemical processes involved in its development [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Recently, using ~ 100-year-old patinated glass and scanning electron microscopy, the myriad of structures developed within patina was described and classified by Clifford & Semeniuk [6] illustrating the range of its various structural, micro-structural, and compositional diversity.…”

Weathering of glass results in an ultra-thin patina that exhibits a multitude of structures, micro-structures, and microlithologies that record its (geological) paragenesis and diagenesis. Scanning electron microscopy of patina from Australia shows it to be simply laminated, complexly laminated, colloform, to micro-brecciated, to mottled and clotted, with microunconformities, and micro-lithologies of laminated silica, or inter-laminated silica and calcite. These intra-patina features are termed ‘patinelles’. There are also desiccation cracks, vughs, and exogenic infiltrations of dust. This range of structures, micro-structures, and micro-lithologies are arrayed as lenses, sheets and as intra-patina masses. The diversity of patina structures and micro-lithologies, and patinelles can be used to determine the history of patina and patinelles.
