Cambrian to Neoproterozoic

Fairfield Pond Formation - Silvery tan and rusty weathering, light green to gray, phyllite, schist and phyllitic granofels; locally interbedded with dark gray argillaceous quartzite; interlayered with Pinnacle Formation. Contact with overlying Cheshire Fm. is gradational.

CZfp

Quartzite member - rusty weathering, dark gray argillaceous quartzite and dark gray schist, occurs locally north of Christmas Hill Rd.CZfpq

Fairfield Pond Formation

Pinnacle FormationPinnacle Formation - light to medium gray, folaited to massive to pinstriped, muscovite-chlorite-biotite-feldspar-quartz schist, wacke and phyllite; commonly with blue quartz pebble conglomerate beds. Includes thick (up to 3 meters) bedded metawacke and quartzite, banded quartzite and pinstriped (1-2 mm) meatwacke and schist. Bedding is commonly transposed and two generations of pinstripes are evident. Interlayered with metavolcanic rocks and chlorite schist.

CZp

Quartzite member - Coarse- grained, massive conglomerate with rounded blue-quartz pebbles; includes medium grained, massive, thick (1-3 meter) bedded, light and dark gray banded quartzite (CZpqm)CZpq

CZpqm

Large cobble conglomerate member - poorly sorted cobble conglomerate in a chaotic dolomitic phyllite matrix. Cobbles include gneiss, quartzite, quartz, limestone, dolostone, slate and felsic igneous rock. Some clasts appear stretched; clasts decrease in size to the west within 5 meters. Occurs locally south of Johnnie Brook Road at east side of quadrangle.

CZpcg

Chlorite schist - rusty weathering, fine grained, medium green chlorite schist; interbedded with CZp and CZpv.CZpcsGreenstone member - rusty weathering, dark green, fine grained, epidote-albite-chlorite metavolcanic and calcareous greenstone; Interbedded with CZp.CZpv

Metawacke and schist member - light to dark gray and gray-green, fine to medium grained schist and striped schist with magnetite.CZps
