Joslin Turn Tonalite

Greenish-gray to light-brownish-gray, medium-grained, weakly foliated metamorphosed tonalite. Primary minerals include quartz, plagioclase, biotite, magnetite, pyrite, and apatite; secondary minerals include chlorite, epidote, sericite, and calcite. Granophyric intergrowths of quartz and plagioclase. U-Pb zircon age of 469±1.5 Ma, no. 27 (Moench and Aleinikoff, 2003). Part of the Highlandcroft Plutonic Suite: Epizonal to mesozonal, foliated and metamorphosed (greenschist facies) plutons exposed northwest of the Ammonoosuc fault. Compositions range from granite to diorite to lesser amounts of gabbro. Part of the Bronson Hill arch intrusive rocks.
