Abstract
Surface Textures of Sand Grains from the Victoria Falls Area
Geoffrey Bond
ABSTRACT
A technique for making dry mounts of sand grains is described. These slides can be used for the study of the surface textures of the grains.
Rounded aeolian quartz grains from the Kalahari Sands are found to have frosted surfaces, but after these grains have travelled a few miles in the Zambezi River above the Victoria Falls this surface texture has been altered to a glassy polish. It is suggested that surface textures may give reliable evidence on the mode of transport and deposition in certain cases.
