Sediment size distribution
is a fundamental descriptor of stratigraphic successions and can provide unique
genetic information in certain situations. To assess protocols and utility of
integrated grain size and grain type information for analysis of marine
sediment, Flores-Aqueveque et al.
explore the impact of pretreatments that isolate individual components. Comparing
fluxes estimated from processed samples with the unprocessed samples suggest up
to 58% difference, and that the filtered samples offer more accurate
characterization of fine-grained marine successions.
