Explanation:

Lens (geology) - Wikipediaen.wikipedia.org
In geology, a lens or lentil is a body of ore or rock that is thick in the middle and thin at the edges, resembling a convex lens in cross-section.

Example sentence(s):
  • Thus in Lone Tree Canyon there is well exposed a section of quartz mica schists, in which such unequivocal sedimentary features as crossbedding and quartzitic sandstone lentils are preserved.
  • They consist of dark grey clay schist as well as sandstone lentils up to 5 cm thick.
