Description
Photo 7: View towards the north, parallel to the strike of layering, of vertically dipping interlayered biotite (darker colored) and calc-silicate granofels in the Bucksport Formation (Sb) of the Kingsclear Group. Several moderately rusty weathering layers of fine-grained biotite schist are also present. All of these rocks represent metamorphosed fine-grained sediment of variable composition that was originally deposited in horizontal layers on the ocean floor during the Silurian. Folding during Devonian compressional deformation rotated these rocks into their present-day near-vertical orientation. South of New Harbor, Bristol.
