Shales characteristically consist of at least 30percentt clay minerals and substantial amounts of quartz.
These permanent caityas characteristically consist of a central rectangular nave separated from aisles at either side by two rows of pillars that support the roof.
The mandala of a Tibetan tanka (cloth scroll painting) characteristically consists of an outer enclosure around one or more concentric circles, which in turn surround a square transversed by lines from the centre to the four corners.

The root systems of these species characteristically consist of tap roots (Lucot and Bruckert 1992; Johansson and Hjelm 2012), which can reach down to the water table.
The sap characteristically consists of diverse free sugars, among which glucose is dominant, followed in order by sucrose and fructose, and also small amounts of other sugars [ 7].
They present similarities in gene structure: the SERPINA genes characteristically consist of four exons with identical positioning and phasing of the intron-exon boundaries.
The polypeptide characteristically consists of two internally homologous domains, each of which provides a catalytic Asp residue, positioned within the hallmark motif Asp-Thr/Ser-Gly, to the active site.
TOMP β-barrels characteristically consists of between 8 and 22 β-strands, each generally longer than 10 residues arranged in an antiparallel configuration (Punta et al., 2007) with hydrophobic residues pointing outward of the barrel (Wimley, 2003) that form mono-, di- and trimeric complexes (Weiner & Li, 2008).
The younger unit covers a 10- to 25-km wide stretch along the Ganga, is characteristically unoxidized and consists of sediments deposited in a fluvial and fluvio-lacustrine setup (Singh 2004) marked as Holocene sediments.
