Lithostatistical variability of beach gravels along the Polish coast of Baltic Sea: The Pogorzelica-Dziwnow dataset (363.0-391.4 km).

ABSTRACT: The data presented in the article consist of petrographic types and grain shape parameters of beach gravels collected along the Pogorzelica-Dziwnów coast section (363.0 to 391.4 km of the coastline), southern Baltic Sea, Poland. Representative gravels with the diameter of 2-5 cm were sampled at 0.25 km intervals, in the middle part of the beach. The contribution of mechanically high resistant crystalline components (igneous and metamorphic rocks: granites and gneisses) and low resistant (sedimentary rocks: limestones, sandstones, and shales) has been presented. The Cailleaux and Zingg grain shape parameters were estimated taking laboratory measurements (3D-axis dimensions, flatness/roundness indices). The calculations have been provided based on the gravels weight and quantity. The
