URI prefLabel Definition Source http://resource.geosciml.org/classifier/cgi/consolidationdegree/consolidated consolidated Particulate constituents of a compound material adhere to each other strongly enough that the aggregate can be considered a solid material in its own right. This vocabulary http://resource.geosciml.org/classifier/cgi/consolidationdegree/consolidation_not_specified consolidation not specified "In normative descriptions, indicates that consolidation state is not a determining factor in identification, it may have any value." This vocabulary http://resource.geosciml.org/classifier/cgi/consolidationdegree/consolidation_variable consolidation variable Consolidation ranges from unconsolidated to indurated on scale of description This vocabulary http://resource.geosciml.org/classifier/cgi/consolidationdegree/incipient_consolidation incipient consolidation "Shoveled with difficulty, relative density 0.4 - 0.7." NADM SLTTs 2004 after Bowles 1986 http://resource.geosciml.org/classifier/cgi/consolidationdegree/indurated indurated "Requires blasting or heavy equipment to loosen, Relative density 0.9-1.0. Rings to blow of hammer." NADM SLTTs 2004 after Bowles 1987 http://resource.geosciml.org/classifier/cgi/consolidationdegree/moderately_indurated moderately indurated Multiple blows with standard rock hammer (less than 1 kg) are required to break rock. This vocabulary http://resource.geosciml.org/classifier/cgi/consolidationdegree/slightly_indurated slightly indurated Rock can be broken with single blow from standard rock hammer (less than 1 kg mass). This vocabulary http://resource.geosciml.org/classifier/cgi/consolidationdegree/unconsolidated unconsolidated Particulate constituents of a compound material do not adhere to each other strongly enough that the aggregate can be considered a solid in its own right. This vocabulary http://resource.geosciml.org/classifier/cgi/consolidationdegree/unconsolidated_loose unconsolidated loose "Easily shoveled, can be indented with fingers, Relative density 0.2-0.4." NADM SLTTs 2004 after Bowles 1985 http://resource.geosciml.org/classifier/cgi/consolidationdegree/unconsolidated_very_loose unconsolidated very loose "Easily indented with fingers, Relative density 0.0-0.2." NADM SLTTs 2004 after Bowles 1984 http://resource.geosciml.org/classifier/cgi/consolidationdegree/variable_induration variable induration "Material is lithified, but induration varies at scale of description." This vocabulary http://resource.geosciml.org/classifier/cgi/consolidationdegree/well_consolidated well consolidated "Requires pick to loosen for shoveling, relative density 0.7-0.9." NADM SLTTs 2004 after Bowles 1986 http://resource.geosciml.org/classifier/cgi/consolidationdegree/well_indurated well indurated Particles in the rock are strongly bound together such that rock surface can only be broken with great difficulty using standard rock hammer (less than 1 kg mass).
