    PROVENANCE and TECTONIC HISTORY of METAMORPHIC ROCKS of CENTRAL PARK and NEW YORK CITY Steven J

    PROVENANCE AND TECTONIC HISTORY OF METAMORPHIC ROCKS OF CENTRAL PARK AND NEW YORK CITY Steven J. Jaret1,2, Nicholas D. Tailby1, Keiji Hammond1, E. Troy Rasbury2, Kathleen Wooton2, E. DiPadova1,3, Lisa Smith1,3, Riley Smith1,3, Victoria Yuan1,3, and Noa Jaffe1,3 1Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, American Museum of Natural History, New York, NY. 2Department of Geosciences, Stony Brook University. 3Department of Education, New York City. The rocks underlying much of New York City, frequently referred to as the “Manhattan Prong”, predominately consist of a series of metasedimentary units, which were originally deposited into the Iapetus Ocean and subsequently deformed and metamorphosed during the Taconic, Acadian, and Alleghenian Orogenies (Merguerian and Merguerian , 2014, 2016; van Staal and Barr, 2012). Despite extensive field mapping in parks around Manhattan and subsurface mapping in major infrastructure sites (i.e., building foundations and tunnels), these rocks have not been studied geochemically and isotopically and interpretation within the larger tectonic framework has largely been based on correlation with presumed equivalent units in Connecticut and New England. Here we present new detrital zircon and Nd isotope provenance analyses in the broader geologic context of Northern Appalachia. General Background The Manhattan Schist was originally defined by Hall, 1976 and has been the subject of great debate for nearly 50 years. Merguerian 2004; 2016 has subdivided the original “Manhattan Schist” of Hall into 3 subunits of schistose rocks. He correlated the third unit with the Hartland Schist in Connecticut and thus interpreted these to be fault-bounded schists which were juxtaposed during a middle Ordovician collision between the eastern margin of Laurentia and volcanic arcs (the so-called “Taconic Arc”).

    presents Crossroads of Revolution: America’s Most Surprising State May 10 – 17, 2021 Monday, May 10, 2021 We meet as a group this morning in Philadelphia, PA. In neighboring Camden, NJ we’ll stop at the Walt Whitman House and nearby gravesite. Then it’s on to lovely Cape May, NJ America’s oldest seaside resort and a treasure-trove of Victorian architecture. We’ll visit the Emlen Physick Estate and enjoy a Victorian Historic District Trolley Tour. Dinner this evening is at Harry’s Ocean Bar and Grill. Our lodgings for the night (the first of two) are at the majestic Montreal Beach Resort (each newly renovated suite features spectacular ocean views). Tuesday, May 11, 2021 After breakfast at the resort, we’ll experience Historic Cold Spring Village. Boasting some 27 buildings on 30 acres, Cold Spring is a living history village recreating the first years of American Independence. Lunch precedes a visit to Cape May Lighthouse, built in 1859. Returning to the resort, a short trolley ride from the bustling Washington Street Mall. Shop, sunbathe, swim in the Atlantic – the afternoon is free to enjoy this charming seaside gem. A second night at the Montreal Beach Resort.

    CITIZENS’ GUIDE AN OVERVIEW FOR CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AT THE NEW JERSEY STATE HOUSE New Jersey Legislature Office of LEGISLATIVE SERVICES Prepared by the Office of Public Information Current as of July 12, 2021. WELCOME TO THE NEW JERSEY STATE CAPITOL The public is invited to the Capitol to participate in the lawmaking process. Galleries on the second floor of the State House allow for citizens to observe voting sessions. The Senate President and General Assembly Speaker establish standards for access and decorum, which are enforced by Sergeants at Arms. Committee meetings are held in the State House Annex and are open to the public. Committee chairs determine matters of protocol. Advance registration to provide testimony typically is required and arranged by the committee aide. If public attendance exceeds room capacity, an overflow space is provided when possible. Citizens seeking to address legislators may wait in public corridors, with the expectation they will not impede anyone’s progress, hold signs, or create a disturbance. Rules for access are set by the State Capitol Joint Management Commission and enforced by the State Police. Public events and displays inside the Capitol are coordinated through the Public Use Program (609-847-3130). Outside gatherings require a permit from the State Police (609-984-4222). Notice of legislative activity is available at www.njleg.org, on Twitter @OLS_Leginfo, and from the Legislative Information and Bill Room (LIBR) in Room B1 of the State House Annex (800-792-8630/609-847-3905).

    The Geological Society of America Field Guide 40 2015 Building stones of the National Mall Richard A. Livingston Materials Science and Engineering Department, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland 20742, USA Carol A. Grissom Smithsonian Museum Conservation Institute, 4210 Silver Hill Road, Suitland, Maryland 20746, USA Emily M. Aloiz John Milner Associates Preservation, 3200 Lee Highway, Arlington, Virginia 22207, USA ABSTRACT This guide accompanies a walking tour of sites where masonry was employed on or near the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It begins with an overview of the geological setting of the city and development of the Mall. Each federal monument or building on the tour is briefly described, followed by information about its exterior stonework. The focus is on masonry buildings of the Smithsonian Institution, which date from 1847 with the inception of construction for the Smithsonian Castle and continue up to completion of the National Museum of the American Indian in 2004. The building stones on the tour are representative of the development of the Ameri­ can dimension stone industry with respect to geology, quarrying techniques, and style over more than two centuries. Details are provided for locally quarried stones used for the earliest buildings in the capital, including A quia Creek sandstone (U.S. Capitol and Patent Office Building), Seneca Red sandstone (Smithsonian Castle), Cockeysville Marble (Washington Monument), and Piedmont bedrock (lockkeeper's house). Fol­ lowing improvement in the transportation system, buildings and monuments were constructed with stones from other regions, including Shelburne Marble from Ver­ mont, Salem Limestone from Indiana, Holston Limestone from Tennessee, Kasota stone from Minnesota, and a variety of granites from several states.
