Abstract
Fabric Analysis of Folded Sedimentary Rocks
Abstract
For structural geologists a simple and useful tool is the stereographic net. Essentially it is a three dimensional protractor permitting easy calculation of the attitudes of fold axes and axial planes, these elements completely defining the geometry of a fold. Examples are given of the calculations. To discern regional tectonic styles, fabric diagrams of poles to bedding planes and synoptic diagrams of fold axes and axial planes are a valuable supplement to geologic mapping. Examples are given from areas of complex structure in the Ouachita Mountains of Arkansas.
