MICROSCOPIC_EXAMINATION:
Bimodal Grain Size Distribution:
mode 1: 670 µm @ 95 vol%
mode 2: 35 µm @ 5 vol%
avg. grain size = 650 µm
Sample is not isotropic under cross-polarized light. About 1 vol% of sample has iron-oxide staining. Larger grains are 50% coated with smaller grains. Because sample is not isotropic I think sample has other clay contaminants probably up to 50 vol%. G. Swayze.
