Le sens des mots «texture» et «structure» [...] est souvent inversé par beaucoup d'auteurs. 4, record 1, French, - texture
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Les pétrographes ne sont pas d'accord sur la définition des termes «structure» et «texture». Avec la plupart des pétrographes européens, nous appellerons «structure» la disposition, la forme, les dimensions relatives des minéraux, leurs relations réciproques, en un mot l'architecture microscopique de la roche. La texture, au contraire, c'est l'aspect général de la roche tel qu'il apparaît à l'œil nu avec les discontinuités d'ensemble [...] mais la plupart des pétrographes anglo-saxons prennent ces termes dans une acception contraire [...] Cette confusion [...] est [...] malheureusement consacrée par l'usage. 6, record 1, French, - texture
