Abstract
AbstractStudies were made of the correlation between the crystallographic axes and the shape of an individual single crystal of a crystalline aggregate in a temperate glacier and an Antarctic deep core, both of which have the typical fabric pattern of the four-maxima type, by approximating the crystal shape to an ellipsoid and then measuring misorientations between the axes of the ellipsoid and the crystallographic axes of the crystal. The result shows that the crystallographic axes are correlated with the axes of the ellipsoid; that is, in most cases the longest and the shortest axis of the ellipsoid are coincident with one of the a-axes and the c-axis of a crystal, respectively.
