Abstract
Summary: The regional strike of the bedding and foliation is NW but most of the folds and lineations plunge roughly SW. Lineations that resemble grain (longrain) seem to be usually parallel to the steeply plunging fold axes. This structural pattern occupies more than 2,000 km2. The formation of this pattern of folds was preceded and succeeded by regional folding along horizontal axes.Keywords
