In the Ordovician Martinsburg Shale in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, "nonmetamorphic" flow (slaty) cleavage has formed as a result of burial and compression of a water-bearing pelite (Maxwell, 1962). Macro and micro fabric evidence in the Port Jervis South area in northern New Jersey indicates that the formation of a progressively better developed flow cleavage across the regional strike of the Martinsburg is evidently related to increasing overburden, and therefore probable higher water pressures, in the original sequence.
