For valid samples >5 litres, a small scoop was used to take a representative sub-sample (approx. 500 ml) of sediment for particle size analysis (PSA). The remaining sample was washed over a 1 mm sieve to retain the faunal fraction, photographed and preserved with an 8% buffered formaldehyde solution. Samples of <5 litres volume were photographed and discarded. MEDIN 3.1.1
