Table 2 Interface types results from a point counting of 100 grains from very coarse (1–2 mm), coarse (1–0.5 mm) and medium (0.5–0.25 mm) grain size fractions from Alicudi and Filicudi sand samples (AL = Alicudi Island; Fi = Filicudi Island; Vc = very coarse, C = coarse, m = medium)

From: The use of mineral interfaces in sand-sized volcanic rock fragments to infer mechanical durability
