| Comment |
Field observations suggest that reticulate ice veins grow in horizontal and vertical shrinkage cracks with much of the water coming from the adjacent material in a semi-closed freezing system, rather than from migration of water in an open system. It is commonly found in frozen glaciolacustrine sediments.
