Abstract
The Measurement of the Shapes of Rock Particles
Allen C. Tester
ABSTRACT
The value of shape analysis of rock particles is discussed. Methods used heretofore are considered unsatisfactory. A new method is proposed which is based on the ratio of the length of the original surface or edge of a rock particle to the portion worn away. The word curvilinear is proposed as a new shape term. Technique for measurement is suggested for various size grains.
