Abstract

A specimen of shale containing an echelon of quartz-filled vertical tension fractures which merge “at depth” with a single filled fissure dipping 65 degrees confirms, in general, E. M. Anderson's interpretation of dyke echelons. Also illustrated are a change in manner of stress relief and an upward diminution of strain.
