    Ptygmatic: Folds are chaotic, random and disconnected. Typical of sedimentary slump folding, migmatites and decollement detachment zones. Piercing fold: A fold which develops by the forcible upward movement of mud or salt diapirs. Suprataneous fold: A fold in which the beds are thinner at the crest and thicker at the trough. Typically forms when folding and sedimentation are contemporaneous. Reclined fold: Axial plane dip direction and hinge line plunge direction is same.

    Migmatite is a composite rock found in medium and high-grade metamorphic environments. . Migmatites often appear as tightly, incoherently folded veins (ptygmatic folds). These form segregations of leucosome, light-colored granitic components exsolved within melanosome, a dark colored amphibole- and biotite-rich setting.
