What has lamellar got to do with layered textiles? "Laminated" does not equal "lamellar". These forums become very confusing unless everyone uses the same terminology.
"Scale" = small plates overlapped and fixed to a foundation with lacing or rivets.
"Segmented"/Laminar" = large plates overlapped and fixed to each other and/or a foundation with lacing or rivets.
"Lamellar" = small plates laced together so that there is no need for a foundation.
"Laminated" = multiple layers of material joined together to create a thicker product
