No full textPillow basalt in the Canada Falls volcanics of the Frontenac Formation (Silurian). 1: Pillows are slightly flattened and show necking on their left sides, rounding on their right sides, which indicates topping to the right (southeast). 2: Ash layers above pillows contorted by slumping Project Name: Marvinney Historical Photoshttps://digitalmaine.com/mgs_geologic_field_photos/36868/thumbnail.jp
Pillow basalt, Canada Falls volcanics
No full textPillow basalt in the Canada Falls volcanics of the Frontenac Formation. Contains large calcite amygdules toward the center of the pillow and finer grainied rim. Location is approximate. There are numerous basalt outcrops in this vicinty that are exposed at low water levels. The second image shows nearly vertical bedding in flattened pillow basalts.
