| Abstract: | This method for determining total roundness of clast fractions takes into account both the abrasion and the crushing processes. It is developed from a slightly modified visual estimation method and a newly defined parameter - crushing processes. Based on visual estimation, the method is most useful as a tool for the Quternary field geologist. |
