Class <<FeatureType>> GeologicStructure (extends GeologicFeature )

A configuration of matter in the Earth based on describable inhomogeneity, pattern, or fracture in an EarthMaterial.
The identity of a GeologicStructure is independent of the material that is the substrate for the structure.
Properties like "clast-supported", "matrix-supported", and "graded bed" that do not involve orientation are considered kinds of GeologicStructure
because they depend on the configuration of parts of a rock body. Includes sedimentary structures.
The general GeologicRelation is used to associate penetrative GeologicStructures with GeologicUnits.
