Roundness is the degree of smoothing due to abrasion of sedimentary particles. It is expressed as the ratio of the average radius of curvature of the edges or corners to the radius of curvature of the maximum inscribed sphere.
The sphericity of a particle is: the ratio of the surface area of a sphere (with the same volume as the given particle) to the surface area of the particle. |

"[Collected] at the spot where the U.S. 1st Division landed on 6 June, 1944, just below and to the right (half a kilometer east) of the 1st Division Memorial and German Bunker WN62; at what the soldiers came to call Pebble Beach. A very significant place in invasion history." Gary Foster |
