[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 410885, member: 4386"] My onllyslight disagreement would be the term "shoot", which does not usually mean offshoot but ore shoot. We still use the term in mining geology to denote a continuous zone of minera;isation in a vein . So you get into mineralisation then follow it and find that it only continues in a zone say 50 m long within the plane of the vein.However that 50 m long segment might be constantly further north in the vein as you mine to lower depth. You would sAY that you have a north-plunging shoot in your vein in that case. Think of it like a mineralised pencil stuck in the pages of a book (except that it can morwe often be rectangular rather than rod-like. "Leader" is outdated but was used usually in the sense of something thin that might lead to something thicker. [/QUOTE]
