Abstract

The crystallographic orientation of optic axes, the crystallographic orientation of {0112} twins and the dimensional orientation of calcite from a drag folded vein are described. The external movements that have caused the deformation of the vein are interpreted and the fabric characteristics are related to them. The calcite fabric shows a marked similarity to those which have been produced experimentally. An analysis of the quartz fabrics demonstrates that there is no significant preferred orientation of optic axes.
