Workers on petrofabrics correlate s-surfaces of all kinds with deforming movements, but do not attempt anything more than a very broad correlation with deforming forces. They have shown that several sets of schistosity-surfaces may originate in a single deformation (as Becker insisted), though it is also possible for a second schistosity to be superposed upon s-planes of an earlier deformation. 2, record 1, English, - s%2Dsurface

There is considerable confusion in the prevalent usage of terms such as schistosity, foliation, flow cleavage, fracture cleavage, etc., Sander ... recommends the employment of a purely descriptive non-genetic term to cover the parallel fabrics of metamorphic rocks; he includes all such structures ("sets of planes of mechanical inhomogeneity") in his term "s-surfaces" ("s-planes"). 2, record 1, English, - s%2Dsurface
