A Northern Appalachian Metamorphic Transect — Eastern Townships, Quebec Maine Coast to the Central Maine Coast

  • Chapter
Regional Trends in the Geology of the Appalachian-Caledonian-Hercynian-Mauritanide Orogen

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 116))

Abstract

A more or less continuous traverse starting near Montreal, Quebec and ending on the Atlantic coast near Rockland, Maine affords one the opportunity to look at a metamorphic section across an entire orogenic belt. In this section are exposed rocks that vary from non-metamorphosed platformal sediments to rocks that have undergone intense metamorphism associated with granitic batholith paragenesis. As well, in this section, one sees the effects of three metamorphic episodes complicated by tectonic discontinuities and juxtapositioning.
