contents Grain size composition of loess samples from LGM European loess sequences. Loess samples of about 200 g were prepared to extract the grain size fractions studied. Grain size separations were performed on at least 10 g of dry sample. First, the entire sample was sieved with demineralized water on 63 microns and 20 microns sieves. The rejects were collected, dried and weighed. The clay fraction was obtained by decanting the fraction below 20 microns. The rest of the sample was mixed and left to settle for 1 hour. This procedure is repeated until a transparent supernatant is obtained. The two fractions thus obtained are dried and weighed. The size of the different fractions was then checked by laser granulometry.
