| Definitionskos:definition | Layering defined by mineralogical or textural variations in a rock body that are interpreted to be related to deformation or metamorphism, commonly associated with layers that have sharp boundaries. Also known as gneissic foliation. See plates 142-145 (p. 342-349) in Borradaile et al [1982] and plate 46A to 49A in Weiss [1972]. |
