Sampled for coarse fragments, 476 oz. sample. 31 ounces - 3/4 to 3"""", 132 ounces - 2 mm to 3/4"""" size, and 313 ounces < 2 mm, passing sieve 10. Check on definition on rock fragments regarding hardness. Most channers form rectangles; these blocks in most cases are easily crushed. Largest fragment was 2 1/2"""" x 2"""" x 3/4"""". Most were 1 to 1 1/2"""". After overnight soaking in calgon solution, all but the larger pieces break down to fine sand. Yields 4 to 5 percent coarse fragments.
