Light-gray and pinkish-gray to yellowish-gray, massive, medium-grained plagioclase granitic gneiss, and migmatite-veined biotite-plagioclase gneiss. Occurs prominently in Jamaica, in Andover in the Chester dome, and in Weston where it appears to form an integral part of Y1,2bg, but also locally appears to be intrusive. A mixed rock of uncertain origin. U-Pb zircon SHRIMP age of 1,326±4 Ma, no. 8 (Aleinikoff and others, 2011), suggests affinity with metamorphic and igneous events associated with the Middle Mesoproterozoic Ludlow Mountain and Proctor Hill granodiorite gneisses of the South Londonderry Igneous Suite. Age of migmatization is younger than 1,326 Ma. Mount Holly Complex intrusive rocks. Rocks of the Green Mountain and Lincoln Mountain massifs and eastern domes.
