Abstract:
Carefully selected sea bottom surface fine sand samples were studied from two sand ribbons normal to the shore. Possible sediment transport along these sand ribbons were investigated from interpretation of the sediment patterns. Simple grain size parameters were obtained and results of heavy mineral and feldspar analysis were compared. On one ribbon offshore sediment movement was indicated, while conversely on the other, onshore movement is proposed.

Comment:
Grain size values were originally given in zeta degrees and were transformed to mm using the following equation: grain size [mm] = 10**-(grain size [zeta °])*2.
