56(a) Appearance The general appearance of a roadside bank initially sampledby Ishikawa (CHA-4) and resampled by the author is shown in Figure 13. A thinrooty grey A soil layer overlies a pale yellow-brown B soil horizon.(b) Grain sizes. The size distributions of two screened samples are listed inTable 15. Material coarser than 0.25 mm is shown for E686956 as Figure 14,forms a large part (79% by weight) of this sample and consists of corrodedlookinggrey-white feldspar with scattered flakes of golden-brown biotite.Table 15 Grain size of two samplesSize E686 956 E686 964mm gram % gram %+5 0.0 0 0.0 0-5+1 20.5 14 10.2 6-1+0.5 30.4 20 26.0 14-0.5+0.25 67.4 45 31.6 17-0.25+0.15 28.5 19 55.4 30-0.15 4.4 3 60.8 33Total 151 100 184 100Figure 14 Screened fraction of sample E686956 coarser than 0.25 mm.
