Description
Photo 10: A strike-parallel view of nearly vertically dipping interlayered biotite (darker colored) and calc-silicate granofels in the Bucksport Formation (Sb) of the Kingsclear Group. These rocks represent metamorphosed fine-grained sediment of variable composition that was originally deposited in horizontal layers on the ocean floor. Folding during Devonian compressional deformation rotated these rocks into their present-day near-vertical orientation. Pemaquid Point, Bristol.
