a b Field aspect of chloritoid micaschist of the Chasteiran Unit (44° 57′ 43.2′′ N–7° 08′ 51.4′′ E and 44° 55′ 18.39′′ N–7° 10′ 55.37′′ E). In the section perpendicular to the foliation (a), numerous quartz veins are parallel to elongate, black, lenses essentially consisting of chlorioid and muscovite (a). The quartz veins are microfolded, with the S1 schistosity being sometimes preserved at the macroscopic scale. The main, regional foliation is, hower, a composite S1–2 foliation. Chloritoid flakes are best seen in a surface parallel to the foliation planes (b). Note in both images the scarcity of mm-sized garnet crystals
