Note 26 — Chapter VI · PLUTONIC AND METAMORPHIC ROCKS:—CLEAVAGE AND FOLIATION.

Reading edition

In my paper on the Falkland Islands (Geological Journal, vol. iii, p. 267), I have given a curious case on the authority of Captain Sulivan, R.N., of much folded beds of clay-slate, in some of which the cleavage is perpendicular to the horizon, and in others it is perpendicular to each curvature or fold of the bed: this appears a new case.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
