The weight percentage and mean size of the 10–63 μm terrigenous silt fraction (termed ‘sortable silt’) of fine-grained marine sediments have recently been argued to be proxies for near-bottom palaeocurrent intensity. This paper details the accuracy and precision of the Sedigraph 5100 and the Coulter...
