Bulk sampling of coarse clastic sediments for particle-size analysis |
|
| Authors: | Stephen J Gale Peter G Hoare |
| Abstract: | A guide is provided to the minimum sample masses required to obtain reproducible measures of the particle-size distributions of coarse sediments. This is based on studies of the actual particle-size distributions of a range of clastic deposits. Procedures are given to enable representative bulk samples of tills, fluvial gravels and beach gravels to be taken. |
