CONT

Puisque le faciès minéral ne donne pas d'indications sur la nature de la roche pré-métamorphique [...] il faudra faire appel à certains caractères texturaux et structuraux : les textures et structures «reliques» ou «résiduelles», antérieures au métamorphisme et incomplètement effacées par lui, permettront parfois de lever l'incertitude.

OBS

structure relique; structure résiduelle : termes en usage à Ressources naturelles Canada - Secteur des sciences de la Terre.
