Reference: Geologisches Wörterbuch Reference information: Hi David, unfortunately, I cannot provide a translation (I don't own any specialist's dictionaries on geology), but I've found a "Geologisches Wörterbuch" at google books, that provides a number of synonyms. Maybe, one of them will help you out. Link below (entry: "Fuge, Gesteinsfuge"). Reference: http://https://books.google.de/books?id=fSopBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA54... |
