Stowe Formation - schist and phyllite member (VTCAZs;0)

Stowe Formation - schist and phyllite member

Predominantly fine-grained, lustrous, well-foliated, silvery-green, grayish-green, and bright-green, quartz-ribbed and -knotted, magnetite-chlorite (biotite)-albite (plagioclase)-sericite (muscovite)-quartz phyllite and schist. Locally richly garnetiferous and biotite-flecked schist (CZsgt) at higher grades. Rocks of the Rowe-Hawley Zone. Allochthonous cover sequence east of the Green Mountains: rift and drift stage metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks and tectonic inclusions of ultramafic rocks.
