What is Boudinage and Pinch-and-Swell Structures about?

This lecture covers the geometric concepts, origins, and classifications of boudinage and pinch-and-swell structures in geology. Boudinage refers to the fragmentation of a brittle layer within a ductile matrix, while pinch-and-swell structures occur at higher grades where layers are thinned and separated. The classification of boudinage is based on kinematics and geometry, including various types such as symmetric, asymmetric, and composite boudinage.
