Cram Hill Formation - granofels member
Dark-medium-gray biotite-plagioclase-quartz granofels and grayish-green chlorite-plagioclase-quartz granofels; contains thin layers of ankerite-epidote greenstone, ankerite-spotted feldspathic granofels, and coticule. Locally hornblende rich at higher metamorphic grade. Part of the metasedimentary host rocks of the North River Igneous Suite. Cram Hill Formation: western part of the Cram Hill Formation is in part correlative with Whetstone Hill Member of the Moretown Formation. Rocks of the Early to Late Taconic Accreted Terrane of the Rowe-Hawley Zone.
