Netop Formation - phyllite and metasiltstone (VTCAZn;0)

Netop Formation - phyllite and metasiltstone

Predominantly light- to medium-gray and grayish-green phyllite and metasiltstone. The Netop Formation may be in part equivalent in age and facies to parts of the West Castleton and Hatch Hill Formations, but may extend lower and into the Neoproterozoic. Rocks of the Dorset Mountain slice (includes Dorset Mountain proper and Mount Equinox, southward to West Mountain near Bennington). Part of the Taconic Allochthon.
