"Schistes lustrés" are the fine-grained, lustrous, low-grade metamorphic phyllites or schists of the alpine geosyncline. General practice in English is to retain this term which has great specificity.  4, record 1, English, - schiste%20lustr%C3%A9

These outcrops were once part of the sediment that lay on the floor of the Tethys ocean. Originally they were slightly calcareous and muddy. During metamorphism the clay minerals have been changed to mica, here arranged in dark, elongate clots. The rock is now very shiny-hence it is called informally "schistes lustrés.

This study deals with the different components of a part of the Tethyan suture in the north-western French-Italian Alps. It concerns more precisely the lithostratigraphic and structural analysis of the so-called Schistes lustrés complex. ... The Schistes lustrés complex is resolved into three different lithostructural sets of units. The two lower ones, born of the European palaeo-margin for the lowest and of the palaeo-oceanic realm or Tethys for the other, are made of calcschists and marbles labelled by syn-orogenic detrital deposits of composite origin, oceanic and continental.  6, record 1, English, - schiste%20lustr%C3%A9

Bed forms in muddy sediments include sedimentary furrows, sediment drifts, scoured depressions, moats, and obstacle-induced scours.... Sediment drifts are the opposite of moats and are localized deposits of fine-grained material, usually associated with a drop in current velocity and in the lee of topographic elevations, like snow drifts behind an obstacle.  2, record 4, English, - sediment%20drift

Les formes de relief présentes dans les sédiments boueux comprennent des sillons sédimentaires, des amoncellements de sédiments, des dépressions affouillées, des fossés, et des cicatrices d'affouillement causées par des obstacles. [...] Les amoncellements de sédiments sont le contraire des fossés et sont des dépôts localisés de matières fines présentant un relief positif, qui sont habituellement associés à une diminution de la vitesse du courant et situés du côté sous le vent d'élévations topographiques, comme les bancs de neige qui se forment derrière un obstacle.  2, record 4, French, - amas%20de%20s%C3%A9diments

Porosity resulting from burrowing organisms. Although this type of porosity is uncommon in ancient carbonate rocks due to collapse of burrows, other types of porosity such as inter-particle porosity can develop within the burrow filling material, esp. if its permeability is greater than that of the host sediment...  3, record 5, English, - burrow%20porosity

Record number: 5, Textual support number: 1 OBS

[Burrows are] features created by organic burrowing in relatively unconsolidated sediment, in contrast to borings, which formed in rigid sedimentary particles or rock. Porosity representing discrete burrows is relatively uncommon in ancient carbonate rocks, because most burrows collapse, become filled by sediment, or are backfilled by the burrow-forming organism itself. However, other types of porosity, such as inter-particle porosity, may occur within burrow fillings in carbonate facies. In somewhat muddy facies, burrow fillings may have more permeability than the host sediment. Commonly these structures, perhaps because of higher permeability, appear to have localized dolomitization.... In some carbonates the porosity is largely in dolomitized burrows.  4, record 5, English, - burrow%20porosity
