“…The ultramafic rocks and the metagabbro are assigned to the Ordovician, inasmuch as neither is known to intrude strata younger than Ordovician in the Green Mountain-Sutton Mountain anticlinorium of northern Vermont and adjacent Quebec (Cady and Chidester, 1957). Furthermore, pebbles of serpentinite from the ultramafic rocks are reported in the Silurian Peasley Pond conglomerate in Quebec (Clark and Fairbairn, 1936, p. 16).…”

“…The Ottauquechee formation (Albee, 1957;Cady, 1956;Perry, 1927, p. 161;1929, p. 27-29) is one of the most distinctive formations in the Green Mountain region. It is characterized by black sericite-quartz phyllite with interbeds of massive rather dark-gray quartzite, all of which are carbonaceous.…”

“…The Stowe formation (Albee, 1957;Cady, 1956) is chiefly characterized by sericite-quartz-chlorite-albite schist that contains numerous lenticles of granular white quartz parallel to the schistosity. Where the rock is apparently less deformed and less metamorphosed than is normal, it is best described as sericite-quartz-chlorite-albite phyllite with well-preserved thin bedding and without granular quartz lenticles.…”

“…The Moretown formation (Albee, 1957;Cady, 1956) comprises quartz-sericite-albite-chlorite granulite, quartz-sericite-chlorite phyllite and slate, and quartzite that is both sericitic and chloritic. These rocks are all interbedded and intergradational with each other and are mapped as a single unit.…”

ZusammenfassungDie Appalachen, als geologische Einheit, erstrecken sich vom nSrdlidaen Alabama his Neufundland. Der Hauptakt des gesamten Orogens wird heute als akadisch (bretonisch) angesehen. Hier betrachtet ist vor allem der Sektor, welcher sich im Staate Vermont befindet.Das Bewegungsbfld in Vermont ist aus ldeintektonischen Beobachtunge~ entstanden. In den Green Mountains deutet schichtparallele Schieferung (si), mit F~iltelungsachsen im Fallen dieser Schieferung, auf Stredmng. Dies l~Bt auf AufwSlbung als Faltungsmechanismus des Antildinoriums schliel3en. Welter westlich geht die gleiche Schieferung in Achsenfl~ichenschieferung mit Westvergenz fiber.Eine spiitere rotationale Schiefernngsphase (s3) in den Green Mountains steht steil und ist Ursache einer Scherfaltung. Ostlich der Green Mountains erstreckt sich eine Reihe yon Gneisdomen und WSlbungen; eine umschmiegende Schieferung (s~) und die Vergenz der zugeh5rigen Kleinfaltung deuten hier auf ein relatives, passives Abg!eiten des Sedimentmantels zur Zeit der AufwSlbung.Das Gesamtbfld in Vermont betont daher Vertikalbewegung als Verformungsursache. AbstractThe Appalachians, as a geological unit, extend from northern Alabama to Newfoundland. The main phase of orogeny in the whole belt, notwithstanding its name, is now understood to be Acadian (Bretonic). Only the Vermont sector of this deformed belt is considered here.
