Hence the angles of such blocks are usually marked by a series of steps and fractures, in which the peculiar character of tlie rock is most distinctly seen ; the effect being increased in many limestones by the inter- position of two or thre...e thinner beds between the large strata of which the block has been a part ; these thin lami- nae breaking easilj', and supplying a number of fissures and lines of the edge of the detached mass.
