Rock Number: 2
0 - 15 m
-very gradational contact between granite and pegmatite; morelike assimilation pegmatite is all over the area but no strong direction with granite is seen. Granite is leucogranite in which the muscovite show strong preferred orientation at 241 degrees.
Abundant garnets around 20 % . They are also concentrated along the muscovite orientaton and are finer-grained that the others away from the clusters of muscovite flakes.
Localized pegmatite veins at 241 degrees that is composed of coarse grained toumaline, muscovite feldspars (no garnets 10 cm wide). The one that are heavily composed of tourmaline(ie around 50 %) have no garnets; others that have smaller amounts of tourmaline (10 to 20 %) have garnets including the ones that have garnets within the tourmaline.
Also, have assimilation of country rocks within both granite and pegmatites. Some sharp contact is seen between pegs and granites. Pegs have very little garnets.
15 m - 30 m
-Abundant peg veins intruding metasediments (greywackes) of various widths (10cm to 1 m wide) striking 270 degrees
30 - 45 m (SAMPLE #1)
-abundant peg. veins intruding meta sediments (greywackes some have abundant feldspar fragments of even sizes) large peg. vein at edge (10 m) at shoreline then metasediments true north 70 m. till get peg. veins (1 m wide or more)-abundant and of various widths but are folded along the general direction of 270 degrees.
Also have granite (sample #1)
Abundant garnets (around 25 %) fine - grained, ab. toumaline in localized areas
45 - 60 m (SAMPLE #2)
-There seems to be some kind of characteristic here where the peg that is largely within the greywackes is extremely coarse grained and massive whereas going north (true north) across the strike is peg that are a mixture of coarse and fine grained-granite-massve one has ab booklets?? of primary muscovite and some large tourmaline crystals whereas the other has secondary muscovite and abundant smaller tourmaline crystals whereas the other has secondary muscovite and abundant smaller tourmaline crystals, 10 m north of shoreline is greywacke with an occassional peg. veins and north of that is the granite. There is a localized peg. 2 m wide within the finer grained variety that contains primary musc. and some tourmaline crystals (sharp contact between coarse and granite, coarse gr. running in same direction as he muscovite in fine grained.)
60 - 75 m (SAMPLE #3)
-very coarse grained peg. veins 1 - 2 metres wide near shoreline and going north 35 m to get into granite veins that have also muscovite (fine gr.) orientated 270 degrees. Country rock assimilated by granitic variety. Both types of veins follow the foliation of country rock but some small veins are also folded. Garnets in fine grained around 15 % (extremly fine grained) with some tour crystals (around 5 %).
75-90 m
-Similar as previous station; north peg. has localized larger peg. associated with grainte-gradational contact. Large coarse. gr. peg. vein stops here. In finer grained variety both coars and fine grained have around 15 % very fine - grained garnets with some tour that are sometimes concentrated into veinlets of tour and garnets have gradational contact with peg. containing primary musc and coarse gr. tour (some) with finer grained matierial)
90-105 m (SAMPLE #4)
-North peg. ass. with fine- gr. "granite" which is largely foliated as shown from the stron musc. orientation at 270 degrees and containing around 15 % very fine grained garnets although some are med. gr. and containing some tour crystals. Peg. contain around 1 % garnets and around 5 % tour. South Peg. in eye-shaped pods-1m long and .5 m wide and in largely country rocks.
105-120 m (SAMPLE #5)
-Largly strongly foliated greywackes with thin veinlets and pods of granites. South peg. small pods 3 m long .5 m wide and phasing out. Some grass-green apatites here, contains primary musc, feld, some tour, and some garnets that are coarser-gr. than those in granites. Granites contain around 10 % very fine grained garnets plus around 5 % tour. South peg. veins not as strongly folded as those of granites.
120-135 m (SAMPLE #6)
-Largely strongly foliated greywackes with thin to fairly wide veins of medium grained granites that are localized pegmatites especially in cores of veins (gradational contact with granites) tour around 5% and garnets around 10 % both are coarser grained in localized areas that in the finer grained areas. Localized pegs. don't have musc. strongly foliated like the granites. South pegmatite is pinching out (contain booklet musc.)
135-150 m
-largely strongly foliated greywackes with thin veins 10 cm to .25 m wide that are folded, localized pegmatitic with granite around 10 % very fine grained garnets and 5 % tour.

180-195 m (SAMPLE #8)
-35 m, (starting at 180 m), from shoreline greywackes with thin veinlets of granites. North thicker veins that have muscovite showing preferred orientation along the foliation of greywackes 260 degree. Veins range from .5 m wide to 10 m. wide. Granites have around 5% garnets (fine gr.) and 15 % tour. (fine-to coarse gr.). Localized areas within granite veins are pegmatitic with large prismatic tourm. along with feld+quartz+>1% garnets. Tourm. in fine gr. show same orientation as micas but those in peg. areas show random orientation.
195-210 m
-(moved line around 50 m north because shoreline is north) South is greywackes with veins of granites (thin) that may be localized pegmatitic and tourmalization. North is peg and granites similar to previous station, around 2 m wide peg. vein between country rock south and granite in north fairly sharp contact between granite and peg., granite has localized pegmatite veins. Peg. has primary musc. booklets. Around 15 to 20 % tourm. and 5% garnets in granite (garnets are slightly coarser-grained the earlier stations).
210-225 (SAMPLE #9)

225-240 m

270-285 m (SAMPLE #10)
-Largely strongly foliated granites with inter fingering of peg. all striking 290 degrees (sharp contact).

Also, garnet in granite are slightly coarser grained than before, amount of garnet is around 15 %.
285-305 m
-largely peg. with some country rock inclusions and granites . Granite appears to be interfingering the peg. (sharp contacts). Right at 305 m mark towards the marsh there is some suggestion that both granite and peg are cross cutting the strike at 292 degrees, probably some minor folding.
