Note: Shape: A = angular, sA = subangular, R = rounded, sR = subrounded. Composition: M = monomictic, P = polymictic. Internal structure: Cr = crushing, Ve = veining, Fr = fracturing, Sh = shearing, Po = preferred orientation. Alteration: Y = yes, N = no. Sorting: wS = well sorted, mS = moderately sorted, pS = poorly sorted. Grain size: Cg = coarse grained (>5 mm), Mg = medium grained (1-5 mm), Fg = fine grained (<1 mm). Composition: M = monomictic, P = polymictic. Only a portion of this table appears here. The complete table is available in ASCII.
