Grains Size min Size max Size median Size width Size mass fraction Grain shape #1 160.0 ${\mu}m$ 1500.0 ${\mu}m$ 1.0 equant - Size distribution
- 2 different distributions for quartz (~200 µm) and ferruginous clay (micron-sized). Quartz grains mostly below 300 µm, but a few brown agglomeration of grains with 500-1500 µm
- Size method
- sieving with mesh of 160 µm
- Oxides comments
- oxide composition of the raw powder is given in parent matter. Should be different in this size fraction
