Abstract
ABSTRACTGeneralized curves for grain threshold under liquid flow and under gas flow (air), based on laboratory data summarized in a previous paper, are utilized to generate a series of threshold curves for unusual sedimentary environments and little‐studied sedimentary materials of interest to geologists. These are aeolian and water flow threshold on the planet Mars, and the threshold of foraminiferal sands in the deep‐sea. Such extrapolations from the generalized curves are necessary because of the difficulty or impossibility of obtaining satisfactory data for these sediments or environments, and the procedures demonstrate the importance of the general threshold curves.
