PETROLOGIC DATA
Rock Number: 1
-complexly folded and somewhat sheared inter bedded sequence of grey garnetiferous psammite
-feldspathic SNDS
-white faserkiesal rich MV schists and PRQZ and white quartzite layers
-quartzite occur in calc. arenite and calc. silicate layers
-the SNDS beds show some preserved festoon type crossbeds
-all other units have delicate parallel lamination
-fold pattern is very confusing and appears to be a cross fold involving a 050 direction crossbedde by a weak 320 direction
-structures plunge NE but axial surfaces are disharmonic calc-silicate layers are generally spongy textured white QZ with EP and HB and minor carbonate interstitial
-calc arenite units are mafic blacke to dark beige HB, feldspar layers
-thick calc. silicate layers may have cores up to 20 cm wide of green chlorite and diopside
-the true quartzite layers have a grain size of .2 mm which probably reflects an original coarse silt nature
-they appear to contain 90-95% quartz
