Abstract

Outlines the nature of the stress systems responsible for en echelon folding, discusses the development of zig-zag, elliptical, and more complex patterns, and cites examples of various en echelon effects in Precambrian greenstones of the Kalgoorlie and other mining districts of Western Australia, noting their significance for the correct interpretation of the structural setting of ore bodies.
