A rare geological term describing a spiral or twisted rock formation created by rotational pressure or geological stress.
From Greek 'helix' (spiral) and 'gmus' (uncertain root, possibly relating to geology), a technical term rarely found in modern usage.
This word is so obscure that most geology textbooks don't even include it—it's like finding an extinct dinosaur name that nobody uses anymore!
