Abstract
MARSHALL'S renewed criticism1 of my paper2 on kink-bands again argues that kink-bands are the exact equivalents of shear planes, at least in terms of angular relationships. In 1964 there was scant experimental evidence for my contention that kink-bands in foliated rocks, unlike shear planes, tend to form at angles of more than 45° to the direction of the maximum compression2–4. Field evidence2 was considered suspect “in view of the difficulty of locating Pmax in any but a perfectly symmetrical, truly conjugate system of kink-bands”1.
