The deep layer, pri-α, gradually becomes visible (Figs. 2f, 3b, 4e), shows sharply defined upper and lower boundaries, and is separated from pre-α by the broad, wedge-shaped lamina dissecans (myelinated fiber plexus) [ 23, 98].
The osteotomy is opened through the action of a laminar spreader placed between two broad osteotomes wedged-in along the cuts.
The leaves have short slender stalks and are 3-7 cm long, triangular with broad, untoothed, wedge-shaped bases, slender pointed tips and coarsely double-toothed, serrated margins.
In contrast to unaffected littermates, the mutant premaxillary bones are thicker ventrally and extend vertically as broad trabecular wedges tapering to points adjacent to the cartilage of the nasal septum.
But mostly, the broad-shouldered, wedge-shaped jackets, super-short black leather skirts, one-shoulder sequin tops and zebra stripe skirts, all worn with glitter ankle socks tucked into kitten heels, seemed to be deliberately cheap-looking and garish.
When Changyuraptor was alive, the area in which it lived "was a broad peninsula or wedge into the ocean, with volcanoes," Chiappe said.
This deep, long-term water source could facilitate fault slip in San Andreas System at low shear stresses by raising pore pressures in a broad region above the wedge.
In this situation, the wedge is broader as structures develop at finite distances on either side of the line-discontinuity and its dynamics resembles more that of a 'vise-like' orogen.
The Upper-Plate is a thick slab of high-T/moderate-P high-grade migmatized metamorphic rocks, whereas the Lower-Plate is an inverted series of moderate-T/high-P schists in two crustal wedges, the broad Main Central Thrust Zone and at lowest structural levels the Footwall, below the Basal Main Central Thrust.
