Cram Hill Formation - felsic volcanic member
Light-gray to whitish-gray, fine-grained sericite-quartz-phenocrystic phyllitic metatuff and whitish pyritiferous soda-rhyolite metatuff. Abundant screens and layers occur within mafic rocks of the North River Igneous Suite and at scattered localities north of the Braintree intrusive complex and in the Coburn Hill area. 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.

Eastern allochthonous sequence, oceanic and accretionary realm, ultramafic inclusions, volcanic-arc intrusives, and volcanic rocks.
