Wedowee Group; Hackneyville Schist (ALweh;7)

Hackneyville Schist - medium to coarse-grained quartz-plagioclase +/- almandine +/- kyanite +/- biotite-muscovite schist, graphite-muscovite-quartz schist, and quartzite containing biotite. Large porphyroblasts of muscovite, andalusite and/or chiastrolite common. Rocks in the areas between Goodwater in Coosa County and Millerville in Clay County that are here assigned to the Hackneyville Schist also have been interpreted as part of the Higgins Ferry Group.
