Trip A-4 GEOLOGICAL COMPARISONS ACROSS THE NORUMBEGA FAULT ZONE, SOUTHWESTERN MAINE Arthur M. Hussey II, Bowdoin College Wallace A. Bothner, University of New Hampshire Jennifer h, Thomson, university of New Hampshire INTRODUCTION The Norumbega Fault Zone is a genetically related series of faults extending from New Brunswick nearly to Long Island Sound. The zone is widest in southwestern Maine, the area, of this field % r trip (Figure 1). The most significant of the faults within the zone in southwestern Maine appears to be the Flying Point Fault (Fig.l).
