flanges/rims Explanation: # alón cortical: formado por la corteza natural de la roca que compone el núcleo. # Talón liso: formado por un negativo de lascado (incompleto, pues la mayor parte del mismo quedará en el núcleo). # Talón diedro: formado por dos negativos de lascado previos. # Talón facetado: formado por tres o más negativos de lascado. Un talón facetado indica que el núcleo ha recibido una preparación especial, por medio de numerosos golpes previos, que dan forma a la plataforma de percusión en el núcleo. Es decir, un talón facetado indica mayor sofisticación que el resto de los tipos de talón. # Talón lineal: es el que está formado por una superficie tan estrcha y alargada que se parece a una arista cortante. # Talón puntiforme: el que está formado únicamente por el punto de impacto, siendo apenas visible. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 mins (2008-09-16 14:54:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- talones = butts so it seems http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Talon_diedro.png -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 mins (2008-09-16 14:55:11 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- MASTER INDEX corticated butt · plain butt · prepared butt · dihedral butt · facetted butt · punctiform butt ...
