Reproducibility

We used excess material from the samples to run a repeat experiment of Sample 319-C0009A-5R-1W, 126.0–129.5 cm. We conducted one test where multiple hydrometer runs were taken on a single sample. The initial masses of the samples were varied (37.52 and 31.61 g) (Fig. F7).

The particle size distribution curves generally match each other with only minor variation in two parts (Fig. F7). This deviation can be explained by recognizing the material was not homogenized. They were taken from the same core, interval, and depth, but were separated into two packages. We assume therefore that our methods are reproducible.
