This traverse around the Northern Appalachians from the environs of Burlington, Vt. to Portsmouth, N.H. (fig. 1) demonstrates a geology which displays the next tectono-metamorphic and/or magmatic occasions: 1) Grenvillian (Precambrian Y) orogeny, most sensible noticeable within the Adirondack Mountains of northeastern long island, but in addition obvious within the cores of the golf green Mountain and Lincoln massifs of west-central Vermont and the Chester-Athens and Sadawga-Rayponda domes of southeastern Vermont; 2) Avalonian (Precambrian Z) orogeny, evidenced through the Massabesic Gneiss and comparable rocks of southeastern New Hampshire; three) Taconian (Mid-Ordovician) tectonism and metamorphism (the Taconic Mountains of western Vermont and japanese manhattan lie instantly south of our line of traverse); four) Acadian orogeny (Early to center Devonian) - essentially the main tectonic, magmatic, and metamorphic occasion during this area, and top illustrated via geologic kinfolk in New Hampshire and Maine; and five) Mesozoic rifting, followed through the emplacement of ring-dikes and shares of the White Mountain (Jurassic and Cretaceous) plutonic-volcanic complexes, mainly in New Hampshire (figs. 2 and 3). to not be visible are a few Mississippian (325 Ma.) plutons of jap New Hampshire and western Maine, and a Permian (275 Ma.) intrusive of south-central New Hampshire. The latter age is interesting, since it is the same to that of granite slicing the Carboniferous (Westphalian) Narragansett Basin of southeastern New England, which used to be deformed and metamorphosed through the Alleghenian orogeny.
