Learning New Stuff - Soil texture test results

So I did the test per the directions, proper measurements, the proper amount of salt, shake twice daily for three days.  Here's the results.  It's very hard to see.





At the bottom of the jar there is a 1 cm layer of very fine sand.  You cant really see it in the picture but there is a more grainy texture to that part.  Above that there is about 2 cm of silt.  Very fine. No pore space.  On top there is about a 1 ml layer of clay.  I guess I have loam, but the sand component is very fine, and the clay is almost non-existant.  There was a small amount of small stone that was screened out before it was added to the jar, but it wouldn't have changed the measurement much.
