Sorting Skewness

Sorting Skewness is a sedimentological metric that quantifies the asymmetry in the grain size distribution of a sedimentary deposit, distinguishing it from other sorting parameters by specifically characterizing the degree and direction of deviation from a symmetric, normal distribution.
