  • A Roxbury Review: Conglomerates of Greater Boston
    C2-1 A ROXBURY REVIEW by Margaret D. Thompson, Department of Geosciences, Wellesley College Anne M. Grunow, Byrd Polar Research Center, Ohio State University INTRODUCTION Conglomerate throughout the Boston Basin in eastern Massachusetts (Fig. 1) has long been called after the Roxbury district of Boston (early references in Holmes, 1859 and Shaler, 1869) and subdivided into three members typified by strata in the encircling communities of Brookline, Dorchester and the Squantum section of Quincy, MA (Emerson, 1917). NEIGC field trips, beginning with one led by W.O. Crosby in 1905, and also GSA-related field trips have provided regular opportunities for generations of geologists to debate the depositional settings of all of these rocks, particularly the possible glacial origin of the Squantum "Tillite". It appears, however, that none of these outings has ever included a stop in Roxbury itself (Table I and lettered localities in Fig. 1). A main purpose of this trip will be to visit the nominal Roxbury type locality in a section of the historic quarries where recent re-development includes the newly opened Puddingstone Park. Other stops will permit comparison of type Roxbury Conglomerate with other rocks traditionally assigned to this formation and highlight geochronological and paleomagnetic data bearing on the ages of these units.

    495/MetroWest Profile Prepared for the 495/MetroWest Suburban Edge Community Commission 495/MetroWest Suburban Edge Community Commission The 495/ MetroWest Suburban Edge Community Commission was established by the Legislature in Section 233 of Chapter 119 of the Session Laws of 2015. The commission will study development challenges experienced by edge communities, including transportation, water, cellular, and energy infrastructure, transit services, residential development, reuse of former industrial facilities and historic mills, brownfields reclamation, downtown redevelopment and other such constraints. The commission will then develop policy responses and recommendations to ensure that edge communities can participate in state development initiatives and benefit from state resources. The commission will focus its investigation and study on the 35 municipalities served by the 495/MetroWest Corridor Partnership, Inc. and develop a pilot program to address the issues to be studied and investigated by the commission. Our Mission The mission of the Public Policy Center (PPC) at UMass Dartmouth is to: Inform evidence-based policy making. Improve public understanding of critical policy issues. Provide educational and research opportunities to our faculty and students. Connect the resources of the University of Massachusetts to the communities we serve. The PPC's primary goal is to inform public policy discussions by providing policy makers with university quality research, technical assistance, and analytical services designed to help make our state, region, and communities better places to live, work, and do business. We do this by leveraging the substantial skills of our students and faculty partners, and enhancing the connections between the University and the communities it serves.

  • 'Tillite', Boston Basin
    SEDIMENTOLOGY OF THE SQUANTUM ‘TILLITE’, BOSTON BASIN, USA: MODERN ANALOGUES AND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PALEOCLIMATE DURING THE GASKIERS GLACIATION (c. 580 Ma) by Shannon Leigh Carto A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy Graduate Department of Geology University of Toronto © Copyright by Shannon Leigh Carto, 2011 SEDIMENTOLOGY OF THE SQUANTUM ‘TILLITE’, BOSTON BASIN, USA: MODERN ANALOGUES AND IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PALEOCLIMATE DURING THE GASKIERS GLACIATION (c. 580 Ma) Shannon Leigh Carto Doctorate of Philosophy, 2011 Graduate Department of Geology University of Toronto ABSTRACT The Gaskiers glaciation (c. 580 Ma) has been classically traced along the Neoproterozoic Avalonian-Cadomian Terranes, which are now found scattered around the North Atlantic Ocean. Around 625 Ma these terranes were composed of volcanoes and arc- type basins. ‗Till-like‘ diamictite horizons identified within these basins have been used as evidence for a ‗Snowball Earth-type‘ glaciation at 580 Ma. However, others argue that these deposits are non-glacial debris flow deposits. To test the non-glacial interpretation of these deposits, a detailed sedimentological and basin analysis was conducted on the Neoproterozoic Squantum Member that occurs conformably with the volcanic-sedimentary rocks of the Boston Bay Group (eastern Massachusetts); this deposit is one of the most referenced ‗tillite‘ deposits for the Gaskiers glaciation. This thesis shows that the ‗tillites‘ of this succession are volcanically-influenced non-glacial debrites. Using the Lesser Antilles Arc and the adjacent Grenada Basin in the Caribbean Sea as a modern depositional analogue for the Avalonian- Cadomian Terranes, this study further reveals that debris flow facies types (diamicts) comparable to those of the Avalonian-Cadomian Terranes are produced at this modern arc and are recorded in the fill of the Grenada Basin.
