III.—A Numerical Scale of Texture for Rocks
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
When reading through descriptions of hand-specimens of igneous rocks I have often found a difficulty in forming an exact mental picture of the appearance of the rocks because of the very meagre information usually given as to the coarseness or fineness of their texture. The following simple method would, I believe, to a great extent obviate the difficulty now experienced in giving such information.
