GEOLOGICAL DATA BY MISS H. A. KENNEDY.
HILLS.
Glacial and rock hills.
GLACIAL ACTION.
Smooth surfaces of outcrops, South Quincy. Scratched surfaces, West Quincy, Squantum.
Deposits : Drumlins, boulders of diabase. The diabase has the same composition as that in Medford and Somerville.
Tilted strata in quarry at Atlantic, probably broken from the mass of slate by glacier.
ROCKS.
Fragmental : Along coast region : puddingstone, sandstone, and slate.
Plutonic : Granite of varying color and texture. The granite has been erupted through the slate. The contact is shown in West Quincy. Sides of the slate have been baked because of contact with the hot granite.
114
Diorite : Dyke in granite beyond West Quincy station. Sides of dyke have slipped away from the granite walls because of contact with cold granite.
Volcanic : Melaphyr at Hough's Neck.
Erosion : Squaw's Head shaped and eaten out by water.
Drumlins, washed down by water and flats made, thus con- necting mainland and islands.
Formations : Dendrite on slate at Squantum and Atlantic. Veins of quartz in sandstone and puddingstone.
Quartz crystals deposited in sandstone.
Slickenside formation,-the result of the slipping of granite masses over each other during faults.
Decomposition : Granite in quarry of Craig & Richards. Re- sult is feldspar changed to kaolin, and the quartz mass is glassy quartz.
Relation of rocks: The granite corresponds to the eruptive rock, rhyolite, of the western states. Rhyolite flows proba- bly covered the surface of Quincy. Granite is now a hill, because the overlying materials have been eroded. From 5,000 to 10,000 feet have been washed away since the granite crystallized.
Pebbles of the granite are found in the puddingstone, therefore the granite is older.
The Braintree slates are older than this granite: for the granite came through the slate.
