A method for fossil pollen extraction from sand-rich sediments / authors: G.A. MacInnis and N.A. Rukavina.: En13-7/77-2E-PDF
"Fossil pollen concentration is relatively low in cores of sand-rich nearshore lacustrine sediment because pollen is hydraulically equivalent to, and tends to be associated with, the silt-clay component of the sediment. Concentration can be increased to levels suitable for pollen dating by removing the sand fraction by decantation and then applying the standard Quaternary pollen-preparation procedure (Faegri and Iversen, 1964) to the silt-clay residue"--Introduction, page 1.
