Description
Photo 6: Characteristic ribbed outcrop surface in the Bucksport Formation (Sb) of the Kingsclear Group. The ribs reflect a difference in weathering resistance of the dipping layers of biotite and calc-silicate granofels. The calc-silicate rock is more resistant to weathering, so it is left standing higher as ribs. This view, towards the southwest, is parallel to the strike of the layers which dip moderately (55°) towards the southeast (left in this photo). Wiley Point, Damariscotta River, South Bristol.
