Grain Size Distribution Analysis is usually employed in sedimentology. It is employed to determine the size of the different grains that make up a sedimentary rock or soil unit under consideration. From the analysis, the following can be deduced: The sortability of the grains; The environment of deposition (Paleoenvironmental reconstruction); The energy of deposition (Paleocurrent current reconstruction); Transportation agent. Please note that this analysis does not in any way show / determine the mineralogical composition of the rock / soil unit. Grain sizes range from gravel (conglomerates and coarser particles) to clay (fine particles). It is determined by its diameter and measured in mi...
