* The fractal nature of geology * Helicitic folds in Si. b. Randomly oriented elongate crystals. c.?Polygonal arcs of straight crystal segments in a fold. d.?Chiastolite with central Si concordant with Se. e. Late, inclusion-free rim on a poikiloblast. The rim may be post-kinematic. f.?Random aggregate of grains of one mineral pseudomorphing a single crystal of another (chlorite after garnet). The chlorite is post-kinematic. * Si and Se for internal and external S in porphyroblasts Question as to whether porphyroblasts rotate or matrix rotates around them * Spiral Garnet in schist * An alternative interpretation in which shear is localized and progressively expands (white zones) Porphyroblasts do not rotate Note that pink one grows into sheared area and appears with snowball rim * Snowball Garnet in schist * * * Assume S3 - bent micas * Layers may be bedding (So) or metamorphic differentiation (S1) continuous or lensoidal? Orientation of micas is S1 Good spiral Si in garnets and “Si = Se” Layering slightly compressed about garnets Good granoblastic polygonal texture in quartz layers where no mica: xlliz outlasted defm * Layers may be bedding (So) or metamorphic differentiation (S1) continuous or lensoidal?
