Nonetheless, there is a certain correlation in the conclusions to be drawn from these tables, with variables such as crenulation, kinkband, and microfracture remaining significant; RQD, on the other hand, was not significant at 5% level.
These are Carabelli's cusp ("American Caucasoid"); shoveling of incisors, incisor rotation, enamel extensions, and buccal pits ("Southwestern Mongoloid"); and molar crenulations ("American Black").
With increasing metamorphic conditions, the protoliths of the staurolite-bearing metapelites were tectonically transported and buried to its maximum depth at the [P.sub.peak], (in the staurolite zone) which is attributed to crustal shortening and thickening accompanied by deformation, which produce, respectively, a slaty cleavage Si and a crenulation cleavage [S.sub.e] associated with thrusting.
Le [F.sub.1] est cause par la formation d'un pli ([F.sub.2]) non coaxial plus dominant, a vergence est et d'orientation NNE-NNO ainsi que par une schistosite de crenulation ([S.sub.2]) amplifiee en raison d'une dissolution par pression connexe.
D2 event has an extensional character (Diez Balda et al., 1995) and it is characterized by recumbent folds associated with dextral shear zones (N40-N60) with an axial plane crenulation cleavage or schistosity (S2).
In these rocks, [S.sub.2] is observed as crenulation foliation and/or fracture cleavage that developed from [S.sub.1] (Figure 3i).
The second cleavage crenulates and transposes the first, which typically carries a slicken lineation where lithons are deformed by crenulation. Thin section and scanning electron microscope images reveal that these cleavages are defined by microveins of calcite, gypsum, and montmorillonitic clays with hematite and vivianite, and that there is some evidence for silica dissolution.
