      [1913 Webster]

   Note: The relative position of the parts of a twin may be
         explained by supposing one part to be revolved 180[deg]
         about a certain axis (called the twinning axis), this
         axis being normal to a plane (called the twinning
         plane) which is usually one of the fundamental planes
         of the crystal. This revolution brings the two parts
         into parallel position, or vice versa. A contact twin
         is one in which the parts are united by a plane
         surface, called the composition face, which is usually
         the same as the twinning plane. A penetration twin is
         one in which the parts interpenetrate each other, often
         very irregularly. Twins are also called, according to
         form, cruciform, geniculated, etc.
         [1913 Webster]
