Abstract

At a late stage of folding, strain slip cleavage was imposed on the pelitic sediments of the Ordovician greywacke-slate association in Central Victoria. The nature of the cleavage surfaces was controlled by the type of sediment in which they were developed. In the coarser siltstones, and in the interlaminated zone of oscillatory graded beds, they are second order shear zones. In the finer siltstones and slates they are thin continuous shear domains of the first order.
