Potholes are roughly cylindrical or bowl-shaped depressions IN ROCKS OF RIVER AND inshore platforms that are ground out by the swirling action of sand, gravel, pebbles, andboulders associated with wave action.
PENETRATION TWIN

Penetration Twins - have an irregular composition surface separating 2 individual crystals. These are defined by a twin center or twin axis. Shown here is a twinned crystal of orthoclase twinned on the Carlsbad Law with [001] as the twin axis.

Contact Twins - have a planar composition surface separating 2 individual crystals. These are usually defined by a twin law that expresses a twin plane (i.e. an added mirror plane). An example shown here is a crystal of orthoclase twinned on the Braveno Law, with {021} as the twin plane.
TWIN PLANE

Reflection across a mirror plane. The added mirror plane would then be called a twin plane.
