OSTI ID:6878175
This report is a compendium of the available information on Vermont, northeastern New York (Adirondack Mountains), Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, southeastern New York, northern New Jersey, and southeastern Pennsylvania. Crystalline rocks are defined in this report as bodies of medium- and coarse-grained igneous and high-grade metamorphic rocks. The study was undertaken to provide background information to assist in evaluating the geologic suitability of such rocks for isolating high-level radioactive waste. This volume contains maps of the major crystalline rock associations and faults of the northeastern US.
