Stratigra?hic sectio!l of the Syracuse Area ••••••••• 126 i i PREFACE This GUl~EBOOK is intended to be a permanent record of the 36th annual meeting of the New '{ork State Geological Association. The short papers accompanying the road logs of the various field trips are presented to enhance the merit of the field excursions. For the most part they su~narize previous information and ideas which aloe pertinent to the trips; in lesser part they piovide information and concepts which have not been pU0l ished elsewhere but which reflect the continuing research on problems of New York State geology in the Syracuse area and in the south-central Ad i rondacks. The editor1s contribution in assembl ing this volume has been nominal. Indivi- dual authors have been responsible for the contributions which they offer here, and for the most part they have done their O\..,tn proof-reading and editing of copy. The effoit which has gone into the planning of the field trips and the road logs can be fully appreciated only by those who have made similar contributions to the Associa- tion in ?ast years. Sp,~cial acknowledgment is made of the generous contributions by authors outside the Department of Geology at Syracuse University. Gratitude is expressed also to those SYI-acuse University students who have contributed their time, energy and en- thusiasm toward ma'dng the 36th annual meeting of the Association a success. John James Prucha Editor and President 1964 - 1 - NOTES ON THE GEOLO:;Y 0:= THE SOUTH-CENTRAL ADIRONDACK HIGHLANDS by Dirk de Waard GEOLOG I C RELAT IONS Present investigations in the central Adirondacks (and in the eastern Ad­ irondacks by Matt Walton) emphasize stratigraphy, catazonal tectonics, metamor­ phism, and a~atexis as the essential facets. A new interpretation of the geolo­ gic relations in the Precambrian of the Adirondack highlands recently proposed by Walton a:1d de Waard (1963a, b) is summarized as follows: 1. Contrary to the impression given in Buddington's (1939) famous memoir: ll '~dirondack Igneous Rocks and Their Metamorphism , almost all Precambrian rocks in the Adirondacks are metamorphic rocks with metamorphic assemblages and tex­ tures. The Adirondack anorthosite is a meta-anorthosite with a granul ite facies mineral assemblage in which large reI ic andesine plagioclase makes up a large part of the rock. Metagabbro and metadolerite commonly display a reI ic ophitic texture and contain cores of reI ic pyroxene, 01 ivine, and plagioclase. M,eta­ anorthosite and associated rocks, and metagabbro and metadolerite are the only rocks which show evidence of their pre-metamorphic origin. All other metamorphic rocks are completely recrystallized and without relic textures. On the basis of their composition some of them, such BS marble and quartzite, can indisputably be called metasediments. The origin of the great majority of rocks, including diverse potassic and sadie gneisses, charnockites, and metabasites, is not cer­ tain; they may have been plutonic, volcanic, or sedimentary. 2. Detailed mapping has revealed a consistent and persistent stratigraphy of alternating layers of diverse gneisses, charnockite, marble, amphibol ite, and quartzite. The layered sequence, which is over 1750 ~eters thick, appears to envelope and overl ie massifs of generally more homogeneous metamorphic rocks which include masses of anorthosite and associated rocks, charnockites, granu- 1 ites, leptites, a:1d gneisses of gra,itic composition. Because of this consis­ tent relationship between the stratigraphic sequence and the underlying massifs the present, most simple interpretation is that the massifs represent a basement complex which was formed, metamorphosed, folded, and intruded during an earl ier orogenic cycle, and denudated before deposition of supracrustal rocks began. The previous and alternative interpretation is that anorthositic, noritic, syenitic, and granitic masses intruded a supracrustal sequence at approximately the same stratigraphic level. 3. The structural pattern of the mapped area does not substantiate the presence of intrusive masses of bathol ithic dimensions a~d a sequence of intru­ sive events. The pattern is consistent with intense, deep-seated folding of basement and supracrustal sequence dJring the Grenville period of deformation and metamorphism. If primary flow structures were present in rocks they were obI iterated and replaced by metamorphic fol iation. Fol iation in the stratigraph­ ic sequence is a bedding-plane fol iation, parallel ing sedimentary bedding and compositional layering. In the basement complex fol iation parallels the layering of the overlying supracrustal sequence. Mineral 1 ineations and minor fold axes are parallel to fold axes of major folds. One exception to this rule is found in dome-shaped structures where radially oriented

  • Excursion to Climb Mt. Arab in the Adirondack Mountains Near Tupper Lake
    TRIP B-3 EXCURSION TO CLIMB MT. ARAB IN THE ADIRONDACK MOUNTAINS NEAR TUPPER LAKE William Kirchgasser, Department of Geology, SUNY Potsdam [email protected] INTRODUCTION The easily reached summit of Arab Mountain (Mt. Arab of trail guides), near Tupper Lake in southern St. Lawrence County, with its Fire Tower and open overlooks, offers spectacular panaramic views of the Adirondack Mountains. For geologists, naturalists and tourists of all ages and experiences, it is an accessible observatory for contemplating the geologic, biologic and cultural history of this vast wilderness exposure of the ancient crust of the North American continent. My connection to Mt. Arab began in the 1980s on the first of several hikes to the summit in the fall season with Elizabeth (Betsy) Northrop's third grade classes from Heuvelton Central School. Although the highways and waterways in these mountains can offer breathtaking vistas, to truly experience the expanse and quiet grandure ofthe Adirondacks, one must climb to a summit. At two miles roundtrip on a well-maintained trail and only 760 ft. (232 m) elevation change, Mt. Arab is ranked among the easiest of the fire tower trails in New York State (Freeman, 2001); at a leisurely pace the summit at 2545 ft (176m) elevation can be reached in thirty to forty-five minutes. Mt. Arab is included in many trail guides, among them one with many useful tips on hiking with children in the Adirondacks (Rivezzi and Trithart, 1997). Through the efforts of the Friends ofMt. Arab, the Fire Tower and Observer's Cabin have been restored and there are trail guides available at the trailhead.

  • Men on the Mountain."
    United States Department of Agriculture Men on the Forest Service Mountain Intermountain Region Ashley National Forest Ashley National Forest Vernal, Utah This story is dedicated to the personnel - - - past and present - of the Vernal Ranger District. - - Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. - Eccl. 9:10 2 Preface "Hell is paved with good intentions," and the undertaking to write this history is a monument among them. At the onset, I fully intended to make this complete to the minutest detail and as flawless as human ability permits. Three things have thwarted these noble desires. 1. The preponderance of historical events and information in the area - mostly in the form of old-timers; 2. The scarcity of written information of the area and, worse yet, the unreliability and contradictory nature of what recorded history exists; 3. The necessity of completing this work in four months instead of the intended period of at least one year. Nevertheless, the history of District 2 is begun. Corrections will be needed in this text and should definitely be made. Omissions should be added and sketchy incidents enlarged upon. This responsibility will rest with those following me, but within these covers is the start of what could be a model for historical reports of other Ranger Districts in the Forest service. It was once said, "History is, indeed, little more than the register of the crises, follies and misfortunes of mankind." I say history is, indeed, little more than people.
