Twee voorbeelden van rotsformaties die zijn gevormd door schistositeit before 1894

This 19th century black and white photograph by X. Stainier depicts two examples of rock formations shaped by schistosity. Schistosity is a type of foliation, a layered structure, that develops in metamorphic rocks. It is characterized by a parallel alignment of platy minerals, such as mica, which creates a distinct planar texture. The artwork presents a visual record of geological formations, showcasing the intricate and often overlooked beauty of the natural world. The photographic style, focused on detailed documentation, highlights the scientific and educational value of the images.
