Remark

The model of zonal anisotropy, built from the nest of structures having their own anisotropy, is flexible enough to be used as a model for almost any type of experimental anisotropy. However, the flexibility of this model must not be misused. When a specified direction is differentiated (e.g., the vertical direction $h_w$, of the previous example), this direction must correspond to a preferential direction of the mineralization. The known geology should always be used as a guide when fitting a mathematical model $/gamma({/boma h})$ to a natural variability.
