Size Distributions of Sedimentary Populations.
Separate sedimentary populations are not all characterized by lognormal size distributions. Populations of different sizes of material are produced by different mechanisms of abrasion: pebbles and gravel by singlestage crushing; sand by repeated abrasion; and silt and clay by chipping from larger grains. Each mechanism imposes a different size distribution on the product.
