Abstract
Early lineations lying on a surface that becomes conically folded are themselves folded into complex spiral curves the form of which depends on the style of the fold, on the cone angle, and on the orientation of the early lineations on the fold. Breaks in the curve occur where early and cone lineations are parallel.Keywords
