fissure [fissure veins] fillings


Explanation:
'calcareous sChists'
https://www.google.it/search?tbm=bks&hl=it&q=fissure veins&=...

fissurale = 'fissure' see 1 link (this glossar can be very helpful!)
shears = fessurazioni (tagli)

"Metamorphic rocks are deformed under various stresses. White curved lines in pelitic schist in Photo 8 are en echelon quartz veins, the array of which is called right-handed en echelon. The veins are fissures of the schist filled with quartz, which are caused by shear**. The formation of the en echelon indicates that the schist was subjected to left-lateral stress (Photo 9)."

'fillable' may transfer the mining of Sx '-abile'
