Description

Photo 9: Folded layers of dark gray hornblende-rich gneiss of the amphibolite member of the Cape Elizabeth Formation (Ocea). These rocks are interpreted to represent metamorphosed mafic (basaltic) igneous rocks within the metasedimentary-dominated Cape Elizabeth Formation (Oce). The tight folds formed during relatively high-temperature compressional deformation associated with the Devonian Acadian orogeny. Back Narrows Road, Boothbay.
