These are the best exposures of the Clinton group in the type area. Acknowledgments: The itinerary was ~uggested, ani the localities described in Marshall Kay's "Geology of the Utica Quadrane;le, 11 1953, New York State !".!Useum Bulletin #347. General: The unconformity at the base of the Oneida conglomerate is a reflection of the Taconian orogeny 1n New England. Most of the upper Ordovician and all of the lower Silurian are missing in this time gap. The over- lying formations reflect a shoreline encroaching from west to east across New York State. The peculiar environment of deposition of the Clinton iron ores is discussed in section B of this guidebook. The Vernon shale, lowest member of the Salina group, represents the mud flats of a great delta built out from the east, which was intermittently encroached upon by hyper-saline seas from the west (Fisher, 1957). The ex­ tension of seas eastward. across the state during Silurian time accompanied the erosional reduction of the Taconian mountains in New England.

    Regan, Guevara, Drauschak, Chiarenzelli and Gaschnig B1 - 1 Geology of the Copper-Kiln Landslide: a glimpse into the Marcy massif detachment zone By Regan, S.P.1, Dept of Geosciences, University of Alaska, Fairbanks, Fairbanks AK 99775 Guevara, V.E.2, Dept of Geosciences, Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs NY 12866 Drauschak, T.2, Dept of Geosciences, Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs NY 12866 Chiarenzelli, J.R.3, Dept of Geology, St. Lawrence University, Canton NY 12230 Gaschnig, R.M.4, Env, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Massachusetts , Lowell, Lowell MA 01854 INTRODUCTION The Mesoproterozoic Grenville Province of eastern North America is a classic Proterozoic orogenic belt that formed over a protracted period resulting in the assembly of Rodinia (Hoffman, 1988). Despite the routine interpretation that the Grenville Province exposes the orogenic infrastructure of modern collisional orogens, the Grenville is unique from Phanerozoic orogenic belts, as anorthosite and related mafic rocks comprise >20% of the exposed region (Fig. 1a; Corriveau et al., 2007). This is in stark contrast to all Phanerozoic orogens, which lack massif-type anorthosite, let alone in such quantities or volumes (Ashwal, 1994; 2010). Owing to a high rheologic strength resulting from exceptionally coarse grain sizes, high temperatures of crystallization, and relatively low density, it follows that anorthosite complexes may have had a profound impact on the thermal and structural architecture of the Grenville Province as a whole. The Adirondack Mountains in northern New York are a Mesozoic domical uplift of Grenvillian basement and form the southern extension of the contiguous Grenville Province (Fig. 1b; Roden-Tice et al., 2000).
