Title
A name given to the resource
(ADK) Anorthosite-Charnockite and Metamorphic Suite --
Adirondack Mountains, New York
Description
An account of the resource
The Adirondack Mountains of northern New York State are underlain by approximately 20,000 square miles of complexly deformed, high grade metamorphic rocks which are believed to represent a southern outlier of the much larger Grenville Province.The Adirondacks can be divided into the "Lowlands" and the "Highlands" . The Lowlands comprise the northwestern quarter of the belt and are characterized by amphibolite facies metamorphism. The Highlands appear to consist entirely of granulite facies rocks. All rocks in this suite have been collected from the Highlands and predominantly from the southern quarter of the Adirondacks.
This suite of rocks is designed to be representative of the Highlands in general. Therefore it includes both metasedimentary and metaigneous rocks. The latter are very common throughout the Adirondacks and contain the often-discussed anorthosite-charnockite suite of rocks. Almost all rocks in the Adirondack Highlands are strongly foliated. This is the result of intense polyphase deformation that has affected this area.

Description
An account of the resource
This specimen is typical of the metaigneous charnockitic rocks associated with the massif anorthosites in the Adirondacks. With variation in the quantity of modal quartz, the rock qualifies as either a charnockite or a mangerite. Quartz content is sufficiently variable to result in both rock types in a single outcrop. These rocks are part of the Mt. Arab complex (earlier referred to as the Tupper Lake Complex (Buddington 1939 p. 116)). The average modes of the mangerite (pyroxene syenite gneiss) and the associated charnockites are:<br /><table style="height:240px;"><tbody><tr><td>

Description
An account of the resource
This calcite marble is typical of most Adirondack metacarbonates. In the majority of instances, original dolomite has reacted to yield calcsilicates. Also present in these specimens are small, serpentinized droplets which may originally have been diopside or forsterite. Remnant grains of each of these minerals have been found in the marble. Accessory minerals are graphite, tourmaline, sphene, and sulfides. Adirondack marbles rarely occur by themselves. Rather, they tend to be interlayered with garnetiferous amphibolites similar to AD-10 (but not necessarily of igneous origin) and calcsilicates such as specimens AD-8 and AD-9. Quartzites and metapelitic layers occur with the marbles.
Thin section shows dolomite and serpentinized diospide

Description
An account of the resource
A classic example of Barrovian-type metamorphism in Dutchess County, NY associated with the Taconic orogeny. A Barrovian metamorphic sequence displays gradual pressure and temperature increase along the metamorphic gradient, and occurs during regional metamorphism. These zones of pressure and temperature increase are recognizable by the characteristic minerals that accompany them. Dutchess County, NY contains an unusually complete sequence.
This collection contains metamorphic rocks from chlorite grade to sillimanite grade in a tight spatial window which records the regional metamorphic gradient increasing from WNW to ESE. This collection also contains some rocks that mirror the protoliths of the schists and quartzites of the sequence (shales and graywacke).

(SFM) Igneous Suite -- St. Francois Mountains, Southeastern Missouri
Description
An account of the resource
This collection is composed of igneous volcanic and intrusive rocks from the St. Francois Mountains of Missouri. The variation within the collection can be used to explain the geologic history of the area. The St. Francois Mountains batholith was formed by granitic intrusions into Precambrian rhyolites, tuffs, and breccias. Then basalt, diabase, and porphyritic intrusions cut the granitoids.

Title
A name given to the resource
(SFM) Igneous Suite -- St. Francois Mountains, Southeastern Missouri
Description
An account of the resource
This collection is composed of igneous volcanic and intrusive rocks from the St. Francois Mountains of Missouri. The variation within the collection can be used to explain the geologic history of the area. The St. Francois Mountains batholith was formed by granitic intrusions into Precambrian rhyolites, tuffs, and breccias. Then basalt, diabase, and porphyritic intrusions cut the granitoids.

Title
A name given to the resource
(ADK) Anorthosite-Charnockite and Metamorphic Suite --
Adirondack Mountains, New York
Description
An account of the resource
The Adirondack Mountains of northern New York State are underlain by approximately 20,000 square miles of complexly deformed, high grade metamorphic rocks which are believed to represent a southern outlier of the much larger Grenville Province.The Adirondacks can be divided into the "Lowlands" and the "Highlands" . The Lowlands comprise the northwestern quarter of the belt and are characterized by amphibolite facies metamorphism. The Highlands appear to consist entirely of granulite facies rocks. All rocks in this suite have been collected from the Highlands and predominantly from the southern quarter of the Adirondacks.
This suite of rocks is designed to be representative of the Highlands in general. Therefore it includes both metasedimentary and metaigneous rocks. The latter are very common throughout the Adirondacks and contain the often-discussed anorthosite-charnockite suite of rocks. Almost all rocks in the Adirondack Highlands are strongly foliated. This is the result of intense polyphase deformation that has affected this area.

Description
An account of the resource
This lithology is characterized by 1-4 inch long megacrysts of microperthite in a groundmass of quartz, oligoclase, hornblende, orthopyroxene, garnet, and oxide. Although the contacts of this unit are everywhere conformable, the rock is believed to represent a metamorphosed igneous plutonic rock. Similar lithologies are present at other stratigraphic horizons in the Adirondacks. In the Northwest Adirondack Lowlands, Buddington referred to a similar lithology as the Hermon Granite Gneiss. The present samples would be more appropriately referred to as metamorphosed quartz-monzonites. Sporadic occurrences of orthopyroxene indicate that, locally at least, the lithologies are charnockitic.
Thin section shows plagioclase, quartz, hornblende and orthopyroxene.
