Abstract
It is implied in the fundamental definitions of petrofabric analysis (Sander 1948/1950) that a full and useful description of a rock fabric (in fact of any fabric) must contain a comparison of the spacial data and their degree of homogeneity as well as the symmetry features of various fabric elements on all scales. This means that fabric investigation should not be limited to macroscopically visible features or to those observable only in the microscope. It was therefore a natural consequence that Sander, already in the early stages of petrofabric analysis, drew special attention to the possibilities of X-ray fabric analysis for the investigation of the smallest fabric units (Sander & Sachs 1930). These methods were later developed by Neff (1956), v. Gehlen (1960), Wenk (1965), and others.
