CONT

... the dip or underlie of the reefs ... varies at all angles between nearly horizontal and vertical ... its angle is often so nearly identical with that of the latter, as to impart to the reefs the appearance of interstratified deposits. If it were not for the frequency of lateral branches - "leaders" - joining the main bodies at all angles, both at their hanging- and foot-walls, they would in reality have to be considered as "layers" or interbedded deposits; but, as it is, they represent in these cases so-called "layer- or bedded lodes."

OBS

See also the record "interbedded."
