suture
suture 1. A linear belt of highly deformed rocks, including tectonic
mélanges, lenses of
ophiolites, deep-sea
sediments, and usually
blueschists, which is interpreted as the boundary between two collided continents or
island arcs. The location of a suture between collided masses has often led to controversy, and the recognition that
collision zones are in some cases a mosaic of jumbled, sliced, and rotated
terranes has led to the realization that sutures may be diffuse, rather than a narrow belt as was formerly thought.
2. The line marking the junction between the septa (see
SEPTUM) and the external wall of a cephalopod (
Cephalopoda) shell that is visible when the shell has been preserved as an internal mould. In some cephalopods the suture lines are simple curves but in ammonoids (
Ammonoidea) the suture becomes crenulate; bends in the suture line that point anteriorly are called ‘saddles’, those pointing posteriorly ‘lobes’. In gastropods (
Gastropoda), the suture is the line of junction between two
whorls of the shell; the angle the line makes with the horizontal is the ‘sutural angle’.
3. See
CEPHALIC SUTURE.
