The thinner but more dense crust of the earth is the Oceanic Crust.
There are two types of crust, and they are the oceanic crust and the continental crust. Oceanic crust is thinner yet more dense than continental crust, and continental crust is on average older than oceanic crust :)
Oceanic crust is thinner and more dense, while continental crust is thicker and less dense.

Two differences are that the oceanic crust is more dense than continental, and continental crust is composed mostly of granite, while oceanic is mostly basalt
Oceanic Crust
Continental crust is thicker but less dense, and oceanic crust is thinner but more dense, making it heavier.
Oceanic crust is thinner (about 6-8 km in total) and more dense. Continental crust is about 30-50 km thick.

Oceanic Crust
Earth's crust varies in thickness due to differences in composition and the effects of plate tectonics. Oceanic crust is thinner and more dense than continental crust, and thinnest where plates are diverging from each other. Continental crust is thickest at mountain ranges, where the crust has been thickened by plate collision or thermal uplift.
Oceanic crust is more dense than continental crust.
The earth's crust is less denser than the mantle.
Oceanic crust is more dense than continental crust.
Oceanic crust is more dense.
