Hi Seba It's truly hard to generalise, since the techniques to infer these Hurst exponents (or fractal D) themselves are very sensitive to the log-log slope. But you are correct some logs can, and do, exhibit nested structures, which contradict the scale invariance that we are assuming with an

The general method is to try to apply the same sort of shape in each direction, changing the range of influence for the different directions. Have you tried looking at semi-variogram maps. These can often help with anisotropy when individual directional semi-variograms are vague.
