laminae
Stacked tissue sheets
Laminae is the plural of lamina, a thin layer, plate, or scale.
The term appears most often in scientific contexts: the laminae of bone tissue, the laminae of a leaf, the laminae of rock strata.
Each lamina is a distinct sheet within a layered structure.
The geologist examined the sedimentary laminae for fossil evidence.
