Description
Photo 1: Dark gray, fine-grained diabase dike cutting previously deformed and metamorphosed migmatites of the Cross River Formation (O0cr). Diabase is the youngest rock type in the Bristol quadrangle (probably about 200 million years old) and formed when hot relatively silica-poor fluid magma flowed rapidly up through cracks in the surrounding older rocks and then solidified. The locations of these dikes are shown on the map with red symbols. Thurston Point, north side of Pemaquid Harbor, Bristol. Yellow field notebook for scale.
