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

"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)."
