Sand Grain size AnalysisMaterials NeededEquipment:(per table) sets of sieves = 10, 18, 35, 60, 120, 230, pan (6 sieves and the pan) Balances to measure mass of or stereo with a spreadsheet Sand sheets of paper(butcher paper or flip chart) sheet of paper- notebook paper will containers to place sieved samples in; these can be weighing trays or beakersIntroductionWhile sediments may seemremoved from biology, they are in fact important. Sedimentsstructure benthic communities because of Grain size preference by various , Grain size makes a difference in the ability of flatfish to bury themselves in mayhavebiologicalorigins in the skeletal material ofcorals,macroalgae, phytoplankton, foraminifera, radiolarians, mollusks, etc.
Figure 3. Sorting is a measure of how even the particle size distribution. Sample A is poorly sorted while sample B is sorted. Phi is the negative log base 2 of the diameter in mm. Table 6.1 in the "Rapid Method" lab has conversions from mm or micometers to phi size.
