Summary

[edit]
Description
English: L-tectonite (gneissic L-tectonite; L-tectonite gneiss)

“Tectonite” is a term used by structural geologists to refer to any rock that has been subjected to solid-state flow. Tectonites show pervasive foliation (crystals or grains are aligned into ~parallel sheets) and/or lineation (elongated crystals or grains are aligned). Most tectonites are “LS-tectonites” - rocks that show both foliation and lineation. "L-tectonites" have lineation, but not foliation - they form by significant stretching (extension).

The rock surface seen here is equivalent to "C" in the three-dimensional line drawing of an L-tectonite seen here: www.flickr.com/photos/jsjgeology/16940463771 .
