ResumoSummary Near Tintagel, southerly verging kink bands cut flat-lying Upper Palaeozoic Plates and schists. The bands are about 2 cm wide and most of them terminate by a Decrease of amplitude but not wavelength. The length of the kinked limb and the frequency of the bands were probably determined by lithology when the deformation began, The bands may have formed under a N-S directed maximum principal stress which was Slightly oblique to the layering.
