| Abstract | The quartz fabric of some underformed Indiansilicified woods has been studied. All the fabricdiagrams show girdles - preferred orientation girdling round the longitudinal axis of the treetrunks. The diagrams are of growth fabric determined by the anisotropy of the wood itself. The main principle involved is that the symmetry of the original wood structure should be preserved in the symmetry of the dimensional and the lattice patterns of the quartz fabric.The dissolved silicates enter the original woodthrough pore solution. They possibly crystallizeby some sort of 'mimetic' crystallization. |
