Perhaps the most striking impression gained by a geologist during
twenty years of field work with deformed rocks in many parts of the
world is that the minor structures in these rocks are surprisingly
uniform in their properties and restricted in their variety. In
fact, a relatively short and simple list can include all structures
which are both of common occurrence and of use to the structural
geologist in his attempts to understand the structure and evolution
of a deformed geologic body. The photographs in this book have been
selected to illustrate as clearly as possible the obvious
characteristics of the common minor structures of deformed rocks. I
have tried to make this selection truly representative in spite of
two factors that have affected the choice. First, I have included
only photographs made during my own field work. No doubt the
selection could have been greatly improved in both quality and
variety by including photographs made by other geologists. Second,
the photographs necessarily reflect my own inte rests and not those
of every geologist concerned with deformed rocks. Consequently, for
example, great emphasis has been placed on folds, whereas faults
and joints are entirely omitted.
