Moosalamoo Formation - magnetite metasiltstone member

Grayish-brown- to pale-green-weathering, well-laminated, magnetite-studded chloritic metasiltstone; near base contains magnetite-cemented quartz-pebble conglomerate and bedded magnetite quartzite. Directly overlies dolostones of the Forestdale Formation. Cover rocks of the Lincoln Mountain massif and northwestern flank of the Green Mountain massif.
