Dear Camila
Means & Li published some nice experiments on fibres oriented oblique and normal to the wall in Journal of Structural Geology, Volume 23, Issues 6-7, 7 June 2001, Pages 857-863

Subject: Help - fibrous in gypsum
Dear All,
I am studing some geological aspects of the Araripe Basin in Northeast
Brazil in my MSc dissertation.
During the field mapping I noticed the presence of swarm of gypsum veins
placed on carbonatic rocks. In most of them I observed gypsum fibers
perpendicular to the veins walls, but in several places there are some with
fibers parallel to the wall rocks. I am looking for papers and references
that could help me to understand these situations, especcially the case of
parallel fiber veins, that seems to me, to be not very usual.
I appreciate if someone could help me.
Thanks in advance.
