| Basis for focus area |
Waldoboro series, eastern part of the Brunswick pegmatite field (Wise and Francis 1992). North of Waldoboro series in Appleton, Knox County, Maine. |
| Identified resources |
Historical production of feldspar and mica. |
| Production |
Unknown. |
| Status |
Past mining at Starrett (1930-1933); exploration at the PEG Claims. |

Sidle (1991), scale 1:24,000; West (2006), scale 1:24,000; Hussey and Marvinney (2002), scale 1:100,000; Osberg and others (1985), scale 1,500,000. |
| Geophysical data |
Inadequate aeromagnetic and aeroradiometric data: Rank 5 aeromagnetic and aeroradiometric data. |
| Favorable rocks and structures |
Pegmatite. |
| Deposits |
Starrett (Hollis) mine (MRDS dep_id: 10145911), PEG Claims, Appleton deposit. |
| Evidence from mineral occurrences |
MRDS; Felch and others (2016). |
| Geochemical evidence |
Favorable mineralogy and rock type. |

| Comments |
May be related to the emplacement of the Waldoboro Pluton. Pegmatites outcrop on eastern edge, emplacement may be structurally controlled. |
| Cover thickness and description |
Variable limited cover and glacial cover estimated at less than 2-50 m. |

| New data needs |
Geologic mapping. |
| Geologic mapping and modeling needs |
Detailed mapping of pegmatite bodies, geophysics may not be useful for pegmatites. |
| Geophysical survey and modeling needs |
High resolution aeromagnetic and aeroradiometric coverage can assist with framework geology such as structural features and contacts. |
| Digital elevation data needs |
Lidar complete. |
