Notes and References
The meaning of continuity is discussed at greater length by Fung (1969, pp. 2–4), Hodge (1970, pp. 6–10), Long (1961, pp. 33–35), and Malvern (1969, pp. 1–2).
Homogeneity is discussed by Mase (1970, p. 44), Paterson and Weiss (1961, pp. 854–55), and Turner and Weiss (1963, pp. 16–19).
Meanings of the term structure are discussed by Turner and Weiss (1963, p. 24) and by Weiss (1972, pp. 2–3).
Rock bodies with structure consist of parts, and it is convenient to have a general term for the kinds of parts. They are referred to here as the material constituents, to distinguish them from the chemical or mineralogical constituents of rocks.
