De as a function of D₀ for each sample.

The central De is calculated while the lowest D₀ values are progressively discarded. The grey dots represent the De for each grain as a function of the D₀ value of its growth curve. The black dots represent the central De while the grains with the lowest D₀ values are progressively discarded. The black line represents the cumulative number of grains (in percent of the total number of grains passing the criteria) that are saturated, as a function of their minimal D₀ value.
