Fissility. — Fissility is a name applied to an actual close parting of a rock which
results in the production of lamina;. Fissility may possibly develop as an
independent structure, although it is believed that it is commonly a structure
secondary to ...

If for any cause cleavage be parallel to the bedding planes, as these are apt to be
shearing planes in the zone of fracture, the predominant fissility would be likely to
be parallel to the bedding. The other direction of fissility would be transverse ...

The fissility seen in the outcrops is not apparent in the cored sections of this shale
in the wells; it is apparently due to weathering and may be connected with a
relatively high content of pyroclastic debris. The thin bentonite seams seen on ...

Fissility due to the orientation of mineral grains will be called "flow cleavage" in
this report. The perfection of this cleavage depends upon the relative abundance
of micaceous minerals and the degree of preferred orientation. Flow cleavage is

that weld the fissility planes, impeding good splitting of the slate. Both texture and
microstructure are very important factors in fissility or split fitness of the slate,
controlling the yield of the rock when processed into tiles. The main
considerations ...

Macroscopically, fissility is distinguished from scaly fabrics by consistent

by the previous cleavage structure: It thus becomes evident that it may be
exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, to discriminate between original fissility in
the shearing planes and a secondary fissility which has been controlled by
cleavage.

Cleavage, fissility, and jointing are also characteristic features of the crystalline
schists of the Piedmont Plateau. Jointing is caused by the yielding of the rock
along shearing planes and is usually found in three directions nearly normal to
one ...
