Always wondered about these! Collected a bit of rock some decades ago, from the waste rock dumps of #3, Bathurst Mines, New Brunswick, that showed more pronounced small scale folding than I'd ever seen. First time the term "kink band" has come my way, but that is a perfect term for a piece of rock that looks like Medusa had taken umbrage at someone's kinky hair.

There was of course a highly regarded band called the Kinks in the mid to late 1960s. (And I think you can share a photo in comments by embedding a webpage with it on! Don't know any other way...) https://youtu.be/TYIl6n_SRCI?feature=shared

Indeed, The Kinks were my principal thought for my subtitle! :) And thanks for the confirmation that we can't put photos directly in comments. That would be a useful feature.

Richard, thanks for that, I think I've seen that before.

3 days ago I found a 1/2'inch vein of white and green layers in a basalt ophiolite Id put the pic on your substack comments bit it won't let me, I don't think. But I could be missing something.
