Deformation structures that can be observed directly in individual outcrops (of say a few metres across) or with the naked eye in hand specimen are commonly referred to (rather disparagingly) as "minor structures". They nevertheless underpin many structural interpretations - they are the building blocks that allow understanding of larger scale structures. The set of icons opposite provide links to collections of structures.
