Description

Photo 1: Both weathered (left) and freshly broken (right) surfaces of fine-grained diabase. Diabase represents the youngest rock type in the quadrangle and formed when hot silica-poor magma flowed rapidly through cracks in the surrounding older rocks and then solidified quickly into narrow dikes and sills. The rocks in this photo are from the Moxie Cove diabase dike (J2mc) – the only diabase body large enough to be shown at the scale of this map. The locations of additional smaller dikes are shown on the map with red symbols. Moxie Cove, Bristol.
