Firstly, the crenulation must be analysed to determine the initial foliation, termed S1, and the overprinting subsequent foliation, termed S2. ... Eventually, the crenulation foliation overprints the S1 foliation. In extreme cases, the S2 foliation will obliterate the previous foliation, especially in wet rocks which have compositions amenable to growth of minerals at that time. 2, record 2, English, - S1%20foliation
