How to compare data

Hello,
I have data for the size of rocks for two independent locations, A and B.
Data lists rock size from smallest to largest (shown by yellow column)
Red column shows the percentage of rocks under that size (out of 100%)
Green columns shows cumulative percentage (out of 100%)
**Normality test indicates rock data (yellow columns) is not normally distributed.**
**When I apply log transform to the data, it becomes normally distributed, and shows a straight (linear) line when plotted on a graph**
*I want to compare rock sizes between the two locations*
**What is the best way to compare rock sizes (yellow columns) given that these values are thresholds, not actual rock sizes?**

If they both have the same distribution (regardless of what that distribution is),and you are comparing two samples, the ranksum test is likely the most appropriate.

My pleasure.
It would likely be more appropriate to use it on the red columns, since (as I understand it) those are the relative frequencies of the sizes.
