axial plane cleavage
axial plane cleavage The cleavage within a fold which is systematically oriented with respect to the axial plane, and which lies parallel or sub-parallel to the axial plane, particularly in the hinge region. Away from this region the cleavage commonly deviates from its parallelism and forms a symmetric, convergent, or divergent fan about the axial surface.
