Abstract

An ambiguity in previously published hornblende orientation data is pointed out and illustrated by measurements on an epidiorite. A method is proposed of differentiating in certain cases between (a) a fabric derived by crystallization of hornblende under stress and (b) that derived by alignment of pre-existing hornblende prisms.
