“…Plumose‐type fractographic features were generated in numerous tests on different materials: PMMA [e.g., Pollard et al , 1982; Bahat et al , 2007], starch [ Müller and Dahm , 2000; Müller , 2001], metals [e.g., Hertzberg , 1987], glass (some papers are cited above), in single crystals [ Sherman et al , 2008], and in rocks [ Bahat et al , 2001, 2005]. Various experimentally obtained fractographic features (named striaes, lances, river patterns, cleavage steps (see, e.g., Bahat [1991] for terminology) have in common an aspect of diverging/elongated lineation of reliefs, but in detail they are extremely varied and in most cases different from the delicate plumose patterns in GRAM1 and geological joints.…”
