About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1898 Excerpt: ... pronounced banding or lamination has been induced in the rock by orogenic forces. Accompanying the movement that produced the cleavage there has been a marked change in the texture of the rock, as seen in both the hand specimen and the thin section. The gneiss is believed to have been a rhyolite for the following reasons: Throughout the rock the idiomorphism of the porphyritic crystals of feldspar is a marked characteristic. Although these phenocrysts show variable amounts of deformation, yet they can generally be easily distinguished from the groundmass in which they occur. And in places in the gneiss where the mashing has not been complete and the lamination is indistinct, the texture of the rock is that of a rhyolite very like that of the Utley outcrop. These incompletely mashed patches in the gneiss, seen in cross section, usually have an area about the size of a man's hand, which areas have irregular elongated shapes. They grade into the more completely laminated gneiss, and are especially apparent in the plane normal to the longer axes of phenocrysts, the "head" of the quarried blocks. Whether the rhyolite-gneiss was originally a surface flow or an intrusive mass is not so clearly shown. It should be noted that the other outcrops of the rhyolite in the Fox Paver valley, as well as the one at Baraboo, appear to be surface flows, and most of them are associated with volcanic breccia. And in this, connection may be mentioned certain angular fragments that occur through the Berlin area. These fragments vary in size from a few inches to almost a foot in diameter, and are of somewhat darker material than the general mass. Like the pheno-crysts these fragments are flattened in the plane of the cleavage, -although their parallel arrangement in this p...
