Figure 5. Technique used in measuring embeddedness. The investigator places one hand flat on the top of the surface rocks and
extends the other hand into the substrate until the tip of the longest finger reaches the layer of fine sediment (left); the two hands are
raised in a fixed position relative to one another and the investigator measures the distance from the tip of the finger to the level of
where the first hand was laid. Pictured is the senior author at Riffle No. 1 in Stratum 9-B.
