    Syntectonic origin/syn kinematic Sigmoidal lines of inclusions (snowball structure) indicate syntectonic crystallization and are due to the rotation of the crystal during growth. Post tectonic/postkinematic means after the tectonic process mineral growth has occurred. Pretetonic:- before the tectonic process mineral was developed. Interkinematic /intertectonic is used for porphyroblasts that have grown over a secondary foliation and are surrounded by a matrix affected by a later deformation phase that did not leave any record in the porphyroblast. Right figure is a snowball synkinematic feature
