Quincy or #BlueHills #Porphyry #Granite
An alkaline, nonorogenic granite intruded into #Avalonia in the #Silurian / #Ordovician as it cruised from peri-#Gondwana to #Laurentia, before assembling #Pangea in the #Acadian #Orogeny (#Devonian). It’s coarse, with the #phenocrysts of amphiboles(?) (possibly riebeckite?)…I’m no petrologist. From@the Eaton’s Pond conservation area@at the #Braintree #Quincy border. My photos.

97 followers · 110 posts · Server sciencemastodon.comI should have mentioned in my lead post that…
The #USGS #BlueHills #quad #bedrock map labels the rock at what it (and the historic map) call Babel Rock as the Babel Rock diabase. The #topo and most current maps put Babel Rock further north, where the only mapped bedrock is granite.
This is pretty diagnostic, as there are few mafic intrusions into the felsic Quincy/Blue Hills pluton…those few are mostly dike in form and Jurassic, whereas Babel Rock is dated as Carboniferous.
Just saying.

Where is Babel Rock?
The #USGS #BlueHills #quad #bedrock map and a #Quincy #Massachusetts #historical #map show Babel Rock overlooks a pond from just north of a bend in #Wampatuck Rd. I have been on that rock, and it's #diabase, a #mafic #intrusion into the Quincy #pluton. But the USGS #topographic quad & derivatives e.g. #GoogleEarth show it adjacent to the #BunkerHill #quarry (source of the #granite for the monument in #Boston).
Should a correction be proposed to USGS? Advice welcomed.

(My partner has #parkinsons so #blueHills isn't in the cards for walks we do together. But I'm up Blue Hills a lot on my own)

They recommend adding a low-frequency shuttle around the reservation. That's probably find, and access right now is abysmal, so anything is better than nothing.
From the point of view of a #Quincy resident, bringing the 238 to 30 minute frequency would be a great way to increase access on this side of the reservation.
