About This Product
A sample of sand or sediment is held beside the patches and matched to the nearest grain size and particle shape, so students can classify it by eye in the lab or on site. The printed checklist prompts the details worth recording in field notes, including bed thickness. The Sand Gauge Chart can be dispatched from India to Egypt, Lebanon, Malta, Cameroon and Cyprus.
Frequently Asked Questions
What particle sizes does the Sand Gauge Chart cover?
Its patches run from very coarse sand at 2 mm down to silt at 1/16 mm, with panels for very coarse, coarse, medium, fine and very fine sand and for silt.
Does it show particle shape as well as size?
Yes. Separate panels illustrate angular, sub-angular, sub-rounded and rounded particles, so roundness can be judged alongside grain size.
What is on the back of the card?
The flip side holds tables of geologic age and carbonate classification information.
