Boudinage 🇫🇷
"Freya Castle looks like a metamorphic rock containing feldspar or other white-ish minerals arranged in something called boudinage. That word stems from French: a chain-link sausage-like structure."

Boudinage
Boudinage are one of the most spectacular geologic structures and some of my favorite rocks. The boudins are the eye-shaped lenses of rock wedged between the white quartz layers. Find out how they formed below.
Callan Bentley's great AGU blog post on boudinage explains it all: https://blogs.agu.org/mountainbeltway/2011/06/20/boudinage-favorite-geoword/
