Definitionskos:definition | Cleavage defined by long, thin limbs of crenulation folds of pre-existing foliation, in which the boundaries between cleavage domains and lithons are gradational. Both the crenulation foliation and the crenulated (older) foliation are easily visible. Grades to spaced crenulation cleavage as boundaries of cleavage domains become sharp, and to schistosity or compositional layering as the crenulation foliation obscures the crenulated foliation to become the dominant fabric in the rock. In many rocks with continuous crenulation cleavage, the tendency to part along the cleavage may be weak, thus the rock may not technically meet the definition of 'cleavage as used in this vocabulary. |
