Delta Porphyroclasts

Delta Porphyroclast is a type of kinematic indicator in structural geology characterized by a porphyroclast with asymmetric, tapering extensions that form a delta-shaped remnant of mineral material, used to determine shear sense in ductile shear zones based on its distinct geometric orientation and rotation relative to the surrounding foliation.
