Title A name given to the resource <h2>Fissility</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>This refers to the tendency of some sedimentary rocks to break along their bedding planes. Shales are fissile. Fissility is distinct from cleavage because cleavage is not aligned with the bedding planes.</span> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource <h2>Flow banding</h2> Subject The topic of the resource This occurs when an inhomogeneous magma flows, thereby drawing out the inhomogeneities into bands of different compositions. When this happens on a very fine scale it is called flow lamination. https://wserv3.esc.cam.ac.uk/p1acollections/files/original/524e986697efa24bc1ff22d4953d1d36.png ee6848d2b6e9183fc720bad52d99a1ba https://wserv3.esc.cam.ac.uk/p1acollections/files/original/32a4fe83932bfa77b7bf45885f3eea1f.png 1a4ed41d2cd55101fd356fbfd2a42a2b Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource <h2>Foliation</h2> Subject The topic of the resource <span>This refers to any pervasive planar feature in a rock. It is produced by the arrangement of the constituent grains into sheet-like structures, usually in compositionally distinct layers. Foliations can be primary (e.g. bedding, fissility, flow banding) or secondary (e.g. cleavage).</span> Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
