Sample Preparation
Samples were air dried at less than 350 c. Clods were broke
up prior to grinding and sieving of samples. Large coarse
fragments were removed. Sample material was sieved.
Remaining rock coarse fragments left on the 10 mesh (2
mm) sieved were removed. Remaining soil clods left on the
10 mesh screen were ground until the sample just passed
the screen. Excessive grinding of sample material was
avoided during the entire sample preparation procedure.
