We construct microlocal solutions of Rayleigh and Stoneley waves in isotropic linear elasticity with the density and the Lamé parameters smooth up to a curved boundary or interface. We compute the direction of the microlocal polarization and show a retrograde elliptical motion of these two type of waves.
