Abstract
The Wonewoc and Jordan formations of western Wisconsin are important sources of frac sand used in hydraulic fracturing. These units
are valued by industry due to the ultra-pure composition, loosely consolidated nature and resistance to fracturing. Statistical analysis of
raw and processed sand was undertaken to assess if grain fragmentation, as evidenced by fresh, conchoidal fracture faces, occurs during
processing.
