hello,
well this ia a thing which is related to subsequent stages of shearing
when the cylindrical folds with fold axes perpendicular to the transport
direction gets dragged down forming seath folds, with a hair pin bend
developed on the fold axis. this might seemingly look as if the fold axes
were parallel to the stretching lineations.
thank you,
