Tillotson Peak Structural Complex - albite gneiss (VTCAtagn;0)

Tillotson Peak Structural Complex - albite gneiss

White, light-gray- and green-banded, medium-grained, well-layered epidote-white mica-quartz-albite (±garnet±magnetite) gneiss with plagioclase and polycrystalline quartz porphyroblasts. Green, chloritic layers 2 to 10 cm thick also contain chlorite pseudomorphs after garnet. Gneiss is similar to gneiss at the base of the Belvidere Mountain Structural Complex. Rocks of the Early to Late Taconic Accreted Terrane of the Rowe-Hawley Zone. Eastern allochthonous sequence, oceanic and accretionary realm, ultramafic inclusions, volcanic-arc intrusives, and volcanic rocks.
