breach-like / breachy Explanation: A Spanish forum sheds light about "brechóide": http://ingenieriageologica.mforos.com/1174391/7075970-excava... Brechoíde: Con aspecto de brecha. Supongo que se referirá a que se presenta como cantos de caliza arenosa envueltos en una matriz. Puede ser debido a que está muy fracturada y las juntas están rellenas o alteradas, a zonas más margosas y alteradas que engloban zonas de caliza más sana... See also: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/breach Some Google search results show "brechoid", but that seems to be a bad translation into English. So I would suggest BREACH-LIKE or BREACHY |
