Abstract
The accuracy of gravimetric fractionation as a means of obtaining size frac tions from marine sediments has been explored. Analysis of the particle siz e distribution and sediment properties of fractions obtained using this met hod was undertaken. This has highlighted the extent to which experimental a rtefacts rather than variations in sediment characteristics may adversely a ffect the efficiency of the fractionation process.
