Abstract

Summary: Two cleavages occur in the sandstones: coarse fissuring, and a fine irregular fracturing, which may form conjugate sets. Linear structures of five styles, all of which are parallel to the fold axis, are developed on the bedding due to the intersection of this element by the cleavages.
