Table 3 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 Panarea and Salina sand samples (PN = Panarea Island; SA = Salina Island; Vc = very coarse, C = coarse, m = medium)

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