    the link is !soilscience@slrpnk.net I’m unable to comment on the shit just works community for some reason.

    some info:

    the equilateral triangle (US) one is confusing as fuck, if you’re uninformed. Basically, start with two lines, and see where they take you (e.g., 30% clay, 40% sand). The third line tells you what the remaining percentage of the 3rd textural size is (e.g., in this case, silt).

    In the Right angle Triangle (Canadian one) sand and clay to derive your texture. silt is implied (e.g., solve for ‘x’).

    gravel gets counted later, and classified as coarse fragments.
