L'examen à l'œil nu ou à la loupe d'un échantillon de roche métamorphique montre en général une orientation des différents minéraux. C'est de cette disposition en feuillets qu'est tiré le terme cristallophyllien qui peut s'appliquer à la plupart d'entre elles. Mais cette texture feuilletée n'est pas le seul caractère structural de ces roches. 3, record 1, French, - structure%20feuillet%C3%A9e

Dans les ectinites, et surtout dans les micaschistes, où la texture feuilletée prédomine nettement, ce sont les plans de schistosité ou de foliation qui interviennent. Ils sont souvent très nombreux, et se suivent à quelques centimètres l'un de l'autre. On imagine facilement la rapidité de la désagrégation mécanique dans de telles roches. L'eau s'insinue dans les fissures et les agrandit en gelant. Les solutions chimiques [...] élargissent les fentes [...] Les racines y trouvent une voie toute tracée vers les profondeurs. [...] Il en résulte une destruction extrêmement rapide [...] 3, record 1, French, - structure%20feuillet%C3%A9e
