Talk:Boudinage

Improving suggestions

I would like to improve this article. E.G. the cited article is a dead link.

As I know this article, because Prof. Urai is my teacher, I know that the cited articles does not match the topic Boudinage exactly. It deals with linear fluted structures, the Mullions!EndoMax 11:07, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

"Boudinaged marble"

The image with the legend "Boudinaged marble bed within blueschist, Samos, Greece" most likely shows a segregation quartz vein in phyllite. These are secondary vein formations, so while they are "competent" now, they were once simply absent. —Preceding unsigned comment added by A.C.

It may even be a quartz-feldspar pegmatite from the image, but I agree that it's definitely not marble (dangerous though it is to do rock identification from someone else's field photo). I'll change it to "Boudinaged quartz vein" and drop a note on the image talk page. Mikenorton (talk) 08:06, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

"competent"

According to my longstanding understanding, the use of "competent" in the article is backwards. (It's the less competent bed that breaks up.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by PMH232 (talk • contribs) 12:44, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

I've added another reference to show that it is the competent layer that breaks up. Mikenorton (talk) 01:44, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

"chocolate-tablet"

Oops! The following should be ~deleted~, since "chocolate-tablet boudin" is apparently a "term of art": - - - - - - — Preceding unsigned comment added by PMH232 (talk • contribs) 13:06, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Huh?

(I (USA) have never heard of this. References to ... (how does one say this?) something that's supposed to clarify something by serving as a well-known example ... should be universally recognizable.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by PMH232 (talk • contribs) 13:00, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

This is a relatively common term in structural geology. See e.g. [1], [2]. Mikenorton (talk) 01:53, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
