OUTER BANKS, NORTH CAROLINA

 

The Outer Banks, separating the Atlantic Ocean (east) from Currituck and Albemarle Sounds (north) and Pamlico Sound (south) Wikipedia Commons NASA image
 

I was given a huge collection of samples from the Outer Banks, and I struggled with how to display them. I've decided to locate all of the samples on one page. Hopefully this won't get too ungainly!

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.
