CONT

Une première phase de compression alpine a engendré une schistosité pénétrative. Cette schistosité a été contrôlée par les failles héritées précédentes, mais reste néanmoins cohérente avec une direction de serrage NNE [nord-nord-est].

CONT

[...] un clivage pénétratif d'orientation statistiquement constante affecte tous les sédiments à grain fin de part et d'autre de la discordance; il est réfracté à la traversée des faciès à grain grossier.

OBS

schistosité pénétrative : terme en usage à Ressources naturelles Canada - Secteur des sciences de la Terre.
