How much cell pressure and back pressure should I apply to start for triaxial test for different types of soil?

We have recently purchased a triaxial test instrument (MATEST) for testing different types of soil. After installing software, we are facing a issue of saturation where the samples does not...

Are there methods for automatically mapping floodplains, fans and terraces?

I want to map these river geoforms with as little subjectivity as possible. I have a high resolution DEM generated by drone data.

Is this the fragment of a sauropod tooth?

Dear colleagues. Fragments of this species are very rare from a terrestrial Lower Cretaceous locality from Germany. Up to now from this locality sauropods could not be proved with certainty. Other...

Does someone know which structure could exit the olfactory bulbs at their antero-dorsal top ?

Hi people, I am studying bat brains through endocranial casts and I cannot identify which structure could be present in sort of a canal located dorsally to the cribriform plate. It is like...

Is it possible to prepare clay minerals by mixing pure oxides of required elements? What would be theoretical difficulties with it?

Practically this is not at all necessary. But theoretically, would hydrous/hydrothermal synthesis be enough (like mix 1 mole alumina gel and 4 mole silica gel and gently heat) or would it require...

ask Paul Taylor, he may help you.

Your question is a fundamental and the answer depends on an understanding the local/regional palaeogeography, water depth and energy levels. By subaquatic, I assume that you looking at sediment buildup and transport. My experience is that millimetric packstones and grainstones can be accumulated downslope over 1-2 kilometres. Bioturbation if likely can speed up the process of fragmentation.

Trust this encourages more debate Richard

I think hydrodynamic regime and substrate along with genus are the key factors rightly pointed by André Klicpera.

I can suggest - Dr. Paul D. Taylor, NHM London and Dr.M.A. Sonar from Institute of Science, Aurangabad, India may give you the answer.

Maceration, picking and observation under microscope and SEM these are the routine methods to understand as I understand. May have more advance metohds, someone who know it please add here.
