On distingue deux grands types de schistosité : la schistosité non pénétrative ou espacée, lorsque les plans de schistosité (ou de clivage) sont séparés de quelques millimètres ou plus; la schistosité pénétrative lorsqu'elle concerne toute la masse de la roche. C'est le cas du phyllade ou de l'ardoise. 1, record 3, French, - schistosit%C3%A9%20p%C3%A9n%C3%A9trative
