Adirondack Igneous Rocks and Their Metamorphism

A. F. Buddington

Open publisher page 226 citations

Abstract

MAJOR objectives of this study have been to define the character of the igneous rocks present; to determine the number of separate igneous complexes, their relative ages, their variations, the relationships of these variations to structure, and the interpretation of their origin; to elucidate the mechanics of intrusion; and to discriminate primary magmatic structures from postconsolidation metamorphic features and to describe and interpret the mineralogic facies as a result of metamorphism.
