  • 1980 MAPS SHOWING GEOLOGY and SHALLOW STRUCTURE of EASTERN RHODE ISLAND SOUND and VINEYARD SOUND, MASSACHUSETTS Charles J. O'har
    MAPS SHOWING GEOLOGY AND SHALLOW STRUCTURE OF EASTERN RHODE ISLAND SOUND AND VINEYARD SOUND, MASSACHUSETTS Charles J. O'Hara and Robert N. Oldale U.S. Geological Survey Miscellaneous Field Studies Map MF-1186 1980 INTRODUCTION This report presents results of marine studies conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) during the summers of 1975 and 1976 in eastern Rhode Island Sound and Vineyard Sound (fig. 1) located off the southeastern coast of Massachusetts. The study was made in cooperation with the Massachusetts Department of Public Works and the New England Division of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It covered an area of the Atlantic Inner Continental Shelf between latitude 41° 12' and 41° 33'N, and between longitude 70° 37' and 71° 15'W (see index map). Major objectives included assessment of sand and gravel resources, environmental impact evaluation both of offshore mining of these resources and of offshore disposal of solid waste and dredge spoil material, identification and mapping of the offshore geology, and determination of the geologic history of this part of the Inner Shelf. A total of 670 kilometers (km) of closely spaced high- resolution seismic-reflection profiles, 224 km of side-scan sonar data, and 16 cores totaling 90 meters (m) of recovered sediment, were collected during the investigation. This report is companion to geologic maps published for Cape Cod Bay (Oldale and O'Hara, 1975) and Buzzards Bay, Mass. (Robb and Oldale, 1977). ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The authors are indebted to the staffs of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), the Marine Biological Laboratory, and the Marine Science Consortium for their cooperation in the use of their research vessels.

  • Memorial to Alonzo Wallace Quinn 1899-1977
    Memorial to Alonzo Wallace Quinn 1899-1977 MARLAND P. BILLINGS Department o f Geological Sciences, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138 Alonzo Wallace Quinn, Professor of Geology, Emeritus, at Brown University, died on April 8, 1977, in Providence, Rhode Island, in his seventy-eighth year. Lon’s chief geological interests included the petrology, age, and origin of the rocks of the northern Appalachian Mountains, especially the late Paleozoic intrusives of Rhode Island, the pre-Pennsylvanian igneous and metamorphic rocks of southern New England, and the plutonic rocks of New Hampshire. Of his many geological accomplishments, the greatest was the completion of the map of the bedrock geology of Rhode Island, published in Bulletin 1295 of the U.S. Geological Survey in 1971, on a scale of 1:125,000. Geologic maps are the basic material for under­ standing the geology of the upper part of the crust. A formal mapping program in Rhode Island began in 1944, when the state arranged a cooperative program with the U.S. Geological Survey. Excellent topographic sheets, published as IV i' quadrangles on scales of one inch to 2,640 or 2,000 feet were available as base maps. Most of the geologic mapping was done by university personnel working as part-time employees of the Survey. As Lon pointed out in Bulletin 1295, Rhode Island is the only state for which the bedrock geological map is based on maps prepared on a scale of 1:31,680 or 1:24,000. He modestly failed to mention that he personally—sometimes with an associ­ ate—mapped 35% of the state.

It is concluded that, the Blue Hills porphyry is geologically and mineralogically a single unit, dominantly granite porphyry, which grades into a porphyritic granite on one side. The Blue Hills porphyry becomes more aphanitic with fewer phenocrysts near the contact with the country. rocks. Textural variations correlate well with the topographic features: the higher the elevationthe more aphanitic the Blue. Hills porphyry becomes. The outcrop at the Route 128-28 intersection has traditionally been interpreted as a "fossil soil zone", but on the basis of detailed field and petrographical studies, it is reinterpreted as an extrusive facies of the Blue Hills porphyry.

Department of Geology Weston Observatory University of Kentucky Dept, of Geology & Geophysics Lexington, KY 40506 Boston College Weston, MA 02193 INTRODUCTION The older rocks of Newport, Rhode Island have been extensively described (full bibliography in Quinn, 1971). In recent years these rocks were dis­ cussed by Kay and Chappie (1976), mapped by Moore (1975), and Smith (1978) has dated the Newport granite which intrudes the bedded rocks. The bedded succ­ ession has been referred to, on incomplete evidence but correctly,as a meta sedimentary sequence overlain by volcaniclastic rocks (Quinn, 1971). Each of the two sequences is of a considerable thickness and the informal terms, New­ port and Price's Neck formation have been given to the metasedimentary and the metavolcanic sequence respectively (Rast and Skehan, in press 1981).
