SUMMARY The weight‐frequency size distribution is generally accepted to be log‐normal (phi‐normal) for sandstones, but the nature of number‐frequency distribution of particles in sandstones is largely unknown. This paper develops the theory of correction procedure for the observed weight‐frequency moments obtained by thin‐section analysis of sandstones (and clastic sediments in general) which was not available so far.
