Description

Bedding as a fabric representing the average orientation of paleodepositional surface should be encoded through the foliationType; might apply to bedding that is layering or a foliation without layering (e.g. clast alignment in amalgamated beds).

Particle Shape Fabricc

URI https://w3id.org/gso/1.0/geologicstructure/Particle_Shape_Fabric
Description

Fabric defined by alignment of the dimensional axes of prolate or oblate particles in a rock. The fabric might result from primary depositional or crystallization process, or from subsequent deformation

Sedimentary Fabric c

URI https://w3id.org/gso/1.0/geologicstructure/Sedimentary_Fabric
Description

Fabrics in sedimentary rock like "clast-supported", "matrix-supported", "cross-bedding", and "graded bed" are considered kinds of Integral Feature/GeologicStructure because they depend on the configuration of parts of a rock body. Sedimentary_Fabric is used to represent penetrative feature in a rock body; Sedimentary_Structure is used to describe discrete features in a sedimentary rock;

Sedimentary Structure c

URI https://w3id.org/gso/1.0/geologicstructure/Sedimentary_Structure
Description

Structures formed in sedimentary rocks related to depositional or diagenetic processes. Includes trace fossils. Sedimentary structure is used to describe discrete features in a sedimentary rock; penetrative structures (like bedding, cross bedding) are Sedimentary_Fabrics
