A freeze-drying technique for cutting thin-sections of soft sediments without disturbance is used to study several Lake Baikal sedimentary microstructures. Image analysis methodology is applied to selected thin-sections. ...
Traditional ichnofabric-descriptive (semiquantitative:l schemes rely upon subjective estimates of the degree to which original sedimentary fabrics have been disrupted. This paper presents an objective method of quantifying ...
Using the principles of electro-osmosis, a sub-sampling technique for clay-rich sediments is introduced that produces undisturbed thin-sections from sediment cores. The fragile sample remains in the same disposable box ...
