shear band cleavage

Structure with shear bands, with a similar aspect as crenulation cleavage. The older foliation is apparently extended and not shortened as in crenulation cleavage. Shear band cleavages are common in mylonites and can be divided into two types; C-type and C’-type (the latter is also known as extensional crenulation cleavage)
