On Thursday (sorry for the delay - large amount of coursework recently!) we collected the samples from our cores, after they had been dried.

We then crushed these samples down and put them through a 63 micrometre sieve so that we could separate out the material. The grains that were under 63 micrometres were put into jars to be looked at later, and the grains that were over 63 micrometres were put into bags so that we can keep all of the material.

And that's about it really, sounds simple, but it took us two hours and all that shaking was very tiring!
Thanks for the update on the dust, look forward to finding out what you do with it and what it tells you.
