@tlatoanitzin,
Almost every batch of geological maps are commissioned separately and SAME FORMATIONS have dissimilar names. There is an International Committee for Stratigraphic Nomenclature in which ssame age and environment of depositional Formations are being given same names. This is a tall order because many of these similar units have slightly different source modes and pressure .
I looked up "Twist hackle" in the American Geological Institute's
Glossary of Geology. There were presented
a number of similar terms, the one Im familiar with is "tilt plane" because it relates to fractures that point toward the area where the stress were propagated.
I dont use the term much (I think the last time was several years ago
for a local mine map).
Even the word "plume: has several uses in geochemitry, geophysics, engineering geology and petrology(Each one different but all having a similar frame of occurence)
Its just one of the things we get used to because most geologists are specialists of a few areas on the map. Usually our first papers will try to have a series of cross references either before an abstract or at the end.
Are you a hobbyist, a worker, or student?
Welcome aboard. Most of us are friendly here.
