When you see a true slickensides it is polished because the sliding surfaces
are under great pressure as they move slowly, opposing surfaces are polished
and often striated grooved.
Sorry to bring this subject back, but I have been wondering.
I have often described flat, striated faces on Tatahouine pieces as micro-shattercones. Now I wonder, could they be micro-slikensides?
