Suture (geology)
In structural geology, a suture is a joining together along a major fault zone, of separate terranestectonic units that have different plate tectonicmetamorphic and paleogeographic histories. The suture is often represented on the surface by an orogen or mountain range. The term was borrowed from surgery where it describes the sewing together of two pieces of tissue, but the sutures of the skull, where separate plates of bone have fused, may be a better metaphor.
