In addition, cases where an irregular fracture surface is shown are called fractures, and include shell-like fractures (seen in quartz, etc.), which are irregular concentric shapes that appear on the broken surface of glass, cleft-like fractures when wood is broken, smooth fractures, and earth-like fractures.
