It is situated within the Pequannock River watershed, and this stream drains the area from northwest to southeast. The quad- rangle constitutes an important part of the regional groundwater and surface water supply. Damming of the Pequannock River created the Oak Ridge and Charlotteburg Reservoirs, and impoundment of smaller streams created the Canistear, Clinton, Echo Lake, and Splitrock Reservoirs. The map area is divided into western, central, and eastern parts by the northeast-trending Green Pond Mountain Region. The western and eastern parts are underlain by rocks of Mesoproterozoic age. The topography there is characterized by ridges and stream valleys with variable orientations that reflect the structural complexity and non-linear trend of the bedrock. The central part of the map is underlain by rocks of Paleozoic age. There, the topography is dominated by a series of broad, linear, northeast-trending ridges (Green Pond, Copperas, Kanouse, and Bearfort Mountains) and intervening stream valleys that are influenced by the uniform trend of the bedrock. All of the bedrock was modified by the effects of glaciation during the Pleistocene. The surficial geologic history, and the distribution, thickness, and composition of unconsolidated glacial deposits over- lying bedrock is discussed by Stanford (1991). Bedrock continues to be modified through the processes of weathering and erosion. STRATIGRAPHY Paleozoic rocks The youngest rocks in the map area are in the Green Pond Mountain Region, a block of down- faulted and folded sedimentary rocks that extends northeast-southwest and divides the Mesoproterozoic rocks into two sub-equal areas. The origin and stratigraphic relationships of Paleozoic formations of the Green Pond Mountain Region was discussed by Darton (1894), Kümmel and Weller (1902), Barnett (1970), and Herman and Mitchell (1991), and is summarized below. Paleozoic formations record the paleoenvironmental changes spanning breakup of the Rodinian supercontinent through the end of the Acadian orogeny. The Early Cambrian Hardyston Quartzite documents an initial fluvial sedimentation across the older regolith and the subsequent drowning of the eastern North American continental margin during a marine transgression (Aaron, 1969). The overlying dolomite of the Leithsville Formation marks the stabilization of a carbonate passive margin. A long hiatus took place before deposition of the Silurian-age Green Pond Conglomerate which, in the quadrangle, unconformably overlies the Leithsville Formation as well as Mesoproterozoic gneisses. South of the map area, Green Pond Conglomerate stratigraphically rests on Middle and Upper Ordovician Martinsburg For- mation (Barnett, 1976; Herman and Mitchell, 1991). The Green Pond Conglomerate has been correlated to the Shawangunk Formation along Kittatinny Mountain in the Valley and Ridge Physiographic Province to the west (Kümmel and Weller, 1902; Yeakel, 1962; Smith, 1970). Both units represent braided stream deposits (Smith, 1970) eroded from uplands to the east and southeast created during the Taconic orog- eny (Yeakel, 1962; Smith, 1970, Gray and Zeitler, 1997). Silurian sedimentary rocks record a change in depositional environments from fluvial (Green Pond Conglomerate), through marginal marine (Longwood Shale), into shallow marine, and formation of a carbonate passive margin (Poxono Island and Bershire Valley Formations). An unconformity separating the Berkshire Valley Formation and overlying Connelly Conglomerate, which correlates to the widespread Wallbridge unconformity of the Appalachian Basin, marks the approaching influence of the Acadian orogeny (Ver Straeten and others, 1995; Ver Straeten and Brett, 2000; Ver Straeten, 2001). Lower Devonian sedimentary rocks in the map area suggest several small sea level cycles (Esopus Formation and Kanouse Sandstone) before becoming a foredeep (Cornwall Shale). The Middle Devonian Bellvale Sandstone and Skunnemunk Conglomerate mark a progression back into shallower marine conditions, and then into a fluvial environment in which sediments were sourced from uplifted eastern mountains that resulted from the Acadian orogeny (Kirby, 1981). On the east side of the Green Pond Mountain Region, Green Pond Conglomerate rests unconformably on Mesoproterozoic rocks along Copperas and Kanouse Mountains. An exception is north of Echo Lake, where Hardyston Quartzite is in unconformable contact with both the Silurian and Mesoproterozoic rocks. On the west side of the Green Pond Mountain Region, Paleozoic rocks are in fault contact with Mesoproterozoic rocks along the Reservoir fault. Neoproterozoic rocks Diabase dikes of Neoproterozoic age are located southeast of the Canistear and Charlotteburg Reservoirs, and also east of Hoot Owl Lake, in the southeast part of the map, where they intrude Mesopro- terozoic rocks but not Cambrian or younger rocks. Dikes strike predominantly N.43 o W. to N.56 o W., and very locally N.33 o E. Those at Charlotteburg Reservoir were mapped by Parrillo (1959) during construction but they are no longer exposed. Dikes are as much as three feet wide, and they have fine-grained to apha- nitic chilled margins and sharp contacts against Mesoproterozoic rocks. Elsewhere in the Highlands dikes display columnar jointing and contain xenoliths of Mesoproterozoic rocks, confirming they are younger in age than Mesoproterozoic. Dikes are interpreted as having been emplaced into a rift-related, extensional tectonic setting in the Highlands at about 600 Ma during breakup of the supercontinent Rodinia (Volkert and Puffer, 1995). Mesoproterozoic rocks The majority of the quadrangle is underlain by rocks of Mesoproterozoic age that include various granites and gneisses metamorphosed to granulite facies at ca.1045 to 1024 Ma (Volkert and others, 2010). Tem- perature estimates for this high-grade metamorphic event are ~769 o C based on a regional study using calcite-graphite thermometry (Peck and others, 2006). Among the oldest Mesoproterozoic rocks are those of the Losee Suite (Drake, 1984; Volkert and Drake, 1999), a calc-alkaline assemblage formed in a magmatic arc (Volkert, 2004). These include quartz-rich rocks mapped as quartz-oligoclase gneiss, biotite-quartz-oligoclase gneiss, hypersthene- quartz-plagioclase gneiss, albite-oligoclase alaskite, and quartz-poor rocks mapped as amphibolite and diorite gneiss, all of which were formed from plutonic and volcanic protoliths (Volkert and Drake, 1999; Volkert, 2004). Representative rocks of the Losee Suite from elsewhere in the Highlands yield sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) U-Pb zircon ages of 1282 to 1248 Ma (Volkert and others, 2010). Magmatic arc rocks of the Losee Suite are spatially associated with a succession of supracrustal rocks formed in a back-arc basin that was located along the continental margin west of the Losee magmatic arc (Volkert, 2004). Supracrustal rocks include a bimodal suite of volcanic rocks and metasedimentary gneisses. Volcanic rocks formed from rhyolite protoliths are mapped as potassic feldspar gneiss, and mafic volcanic rocks formed from basalt protoliths are mapped as amphibolite. Metasedimentary rocks formed mainly from clastic protoliths are mapped as biotite-quartz-feldspar gneiss, clinopyroxene-quartz-feldspar gneiss, and pyroxene gneiss. Mineralogical variants of pyroxene gneiss form distinct units that contain abundant biotite, hornblende, or both minerals, and they are mapped separately in order to define fold structures in the northwest part of the map. Supracrustal rocks west of the map area yield SHRIMP U-Pb zircon ages of 1299 to 1259 Ma (Volkert and others, 2010) that closely overlap the age of rocks of the Losee Suite.

Mesoproterozoic rocks, undifferentiated – Shown beneath Green Pond and in cross section only. dips southwest and, less commonly, northeast. A subordinate set strikes about N.45 o E. (fig. 6) and dips northwest, and less commonly southeast. The dip of all joints ranges from 26 o to 90 o and averages 73 o . ECONOMIC RESOURCES Some Mesoproterozoic rocks in the quadrangle are host to economic deposits of magnetite mined predominantly during the 19th century. Mines are distributed throughout the quadrangle but are most abundant in the northwest and southwest parts. Detailed descriptions of these mines are given in Bayley (1910) and Sims (1958). Mesoproterozoic rocks were quarried for crushed stone west of Canistear Reservoir and at locations north and southeast of Echo Lake. Surficial deposits of sand and gravel were mined at a few locations in the area, and peat was extracted from a single location in the valley north of Echo Lake Ybh Yba Ypg Yk Yb Ymp Ylo Yla Ylb Ylh Yh Yd Ya Yu STRUCTURE Paleozoic bedding and cleavage Bedding in the Paleozoic formations of the Green Pond Mountain Region strikes mainly northeast at an average of N.42 o E. (fig. 1). Most beds are upright and dip northwest, and less commonly southeast, and locally are overturned steeply southeast. Beds range in dip from 4 o to 90 o and average 54 o . Cleavage deforms some of the finer grained sedimentary rocks and also those where localized faulting is present. The average strike of cleavage is N.44 o E. (fig. 2). The dip ranges from 8 o to 90 o and averages 65 o Generally, cleavage dips southeast, but northwest-dipping to vertical measurements were also recorded. Locally, a crenulation cleavage, or second spaced cleavage, has been observed in some units in the map. DESCRIPTION OF MAP UNITS GREEN POND MOUNTAIN REGION Skunnemunk Conglomerate (Middle Devonian) (Darton, 1894) – Grayish-purple to grayish-red, thin- to very thick-bedded, locally cross-bedded, polymictic conglomerate and sandstone containing clasts of white vein quartz, red and green quartzite and sandstone, red and gray chert, and red shale; interbedded with medium-gray, thin-bedded sandstone and greenish-gray and grayish-red, mud-cracked shale. Conglomerate and sandstone matrix is primary hematite and microcrystalline quartz. Conglomerate cobbles range to 6.5 in. long, and average cobble size increases in upper part of unit. Lower contact is conformable and gradational as defined by Kümmel and Weller (1902). Unit is about 3,000 ft thick. Bellvale Sandstone (Middle Devonian) (Bellvale Flags of Darton, 1894; Willard, 1937) – Upper beds are grayish-red to grayish-purple sandstone containing quartz pebbles as large as 1 in. in diameter. Lower beds are light-olive-gray- to yellowish-gray- and greenish-black- weathering, medium-gray to medium-bluish-gray, very thin- to very thick-bedded siltstone and sandstone crossbedded, graded, and interbedded with black to dark-gray shale. More san- dstone in upper beds and becomes finer downward. Lower contact conformable with the Cor- nwall Shale and placed where beds thicken and volume of shale and siltstone are about equal. Unit is 1,750 to 2,000 ft. thick Cornwall Shale (Middle Devonian) (Hartnagel, 1907) – Black to dark-gray, very thin- to thick-bedded, fossiliferous, fissile shale, interbedded with medium-gray and light-olive-gray to yellowish-gray, laminated to very thin-bedded siltstone that increases in upper part. Lower contact with Kanouse Sandstone probably conformable. Unit is about 950 ft. thick The Newfoundland quadrangle also contains abundant granite of the Byram and Lake Hopatcong Intrusive Suites that comprise the Vernon Supersuite (Volkert and Drake, 1998). It includes monzonite, quartz monzonite, granite, and alaskite that have A-type geochemical compositions (Volkert and others, 2000). These suites are well exposed throughout the map area, where they intrude rocks of the Losee Suite and supracrustal rocks. A sample of Byram granite from along Route 23, southeast of Echo Lake yields a SHRIMP U-Pb zircon age of 1182 Ma, similar to ages of 1188 to 1184 Ma for Byram and Lake Hopatcong rocks from elsewhere in the Highlands (Volkert and others, 2010). The youngest Mesoproterozoic rocks in the area are small, irregular bodies of granite pegmatite that have intruded other Mesoproterozoic rocks. Pegmatites are unfoliated, and they have sharp, discor- dant contacts, confirming their emplacement following the thermal metamorphic peak of the Ottawan orogeny at 1024 Ma. Pegmatites elsewhere in the Highlands yield U-Pb zircon ages of 1004 to 986 Ma (Volkert and others, 2005). Other Mesoproterozoic rock in the quadrangle includes amphibolite of several different origins. Most amphibolite that is spatially associated with the Losee Suite is metavolcanic, whereas amphibolite that is interlayered with the supracrustal rocks may be metavolcanic or metasedimentary in origin. All variants of amphibolite are shown undifferentiated on the map. BEDROCK GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE NEWFOUNDLAND QUADRANGLE GEOLOGIC MAP SERIES GMS 13-4 PASSAIC, MORRIS, AND SUSSEX COUNTIES, NEW JERSEY Proterozoic foliation Crystallization foliation in the Mesoproterozoic rocks (formed by the parallel alignment of constitu- ent mineral grains) strikes predominantly northeast at an average of N.20 o E. (fig. 3). Foliations locally are variable, especially in the northwest part of the map, owing to the presence of folds that range in scale from outcrop to major regional extent. Foliations dip mainly southeast, and locally northwest, although in the hinge area of fold structures dips are north. The dip of all foliations ranges from 21 o to 90 o and averages 55 o . Folds Folds in Paleozoic rocks of the Green Pond Mountain Region are part of a major northeast- plunging synclinorium, the axis of which passes through Bearfort Mountain. Folds on either side of the axis consist of upright synclines that plunge northeast, southwest, or are doubly plunging. Folds on Kanouse Mountain are gently inclined to recumbent. Outcrop-scale folds are exceptionally well exposed along Route 23 near the town of Newfound- land and these folds have been a classic field trip stop for decades. The folds deform the Green Pond Conglomerate, and they include an anticline and syncline (fig. 4) that plunges 6 o southwest. Beds strike about N53 o E and dip 40 o northwest on the west limb and 56 o southeast on the east limb. A pervasive subvertical axial planar cleavage cuts both of the folds. Folding is likely a result of westward-verging compression during the Alleghanian orogeny, because the folds deform siliciclastic and carbonate rocks of both Silurian and Devonian age. The dominant fold geometry in Mesoproterozoic rocks consists of antiforms and synforms that have northeast-striking axial surfaces. These folds are northeast-plunging and upright or northwest overturned, and less commonly southeast overturned. Other folds have north-striking axial surfaces and are northeast-plunging and upright or northwest overturned. The overall sequence of folding is uncertain, but at least three phases of folding are preserved (fig. 4), particularly in the northwest part of the map. They may be a continuation of the same fold phase that resulted from differences in the vector of compressional stress at about 1045 Ma, or superimposed folding related to separate Mesoproterozoic tectonothermal events. Regardless, the folds deform crystallization foliation, but not postorogenic pegmatites, and thus were formed no later than the Ottawan orogeny. The plunge of mineral lineations in Mesoproterozoic rocks is parallel to the axial surface of each of the fold phases. The plunge trend displays three populations that average 24 o N.31 o E., 28 o N.48 o E. and 38 o N.75 o E., with 50 percent of all lineations plunging N.41 o E. to N.57 o E. No southwest plunging lineations or folds in Mesoproterozoic rocks were recognized. Faults Northeast-trending faults are the most common type in the quadrangle and they deform both Mesoproterozoic and Paleozoic rocks. From northwest, the major faults are the Reservoir, Russia, Long- wood Valley, Brown Mountain, Gorge, Tanners Brook-Green Pond, Union Valley, and Green Turtle Pond. Faulting of Mesoproterozoic rocks is characterized mainly by brittle deformation fabric that includes breccia, gouge, retrogression of mafic mineral phases, chlorite or epidote-coated fractures or slicken- sides, and (or) close-spaced fracture cleavage. Locally, Mesoproterozoic rocks along the Reservoir and Brown Mountain faults preserve a ductile deformation fabric that consists of steeply-dipping to vertical mylonite or protomylonite that is subparallel to the crystallization foliation. The Reservoir fault extends from New York State southwest to Schooleys Mountain (Drake and others, 1996). In the map area the fault contains Paleozoic rocks on the hanging wall and Mesoprotero- zoic rocks on the footwall, but to the south it contains Mesoproterozoic rocks on both sides of the fault. The fault strikes about N.40 o E. and ranges in dip from steep northwest or southeast to vertical. It records a history of multiple reactivations dating from the Mesoproterozoic that display a movement sense ranging from normal to strike slip and reverse, with latest movement having been normal. The Reservoir fault is characterized by ductile deformation fabric overprinted by a pervasive brittle deformation fabric that envelops the mylonite. An unnamed splay, located east of Buckabear Pond, is cut off by, or merges with, the Reservoir fault. The splay strikes N.20 o E. to N.30 o E. and dips about 90 o . It has a ductile fabric that is overprinted by brittle fabric, similar to deformation features observed along the Reservoir fault. The timing of reactivation of the Reservoir fault using 40 Ar/ 39 Ar isotope analysis reflects a complex deformation history subsequent to cooling from Ottawan metamorphism, likely due to hydrother- mal fluid movement along the fault. Amphibole age spectra yield disturbed patterns, suggesting possible resetting of amphibole at about 722 Ma and of biotite inclusions in amphibole at about 322 Ma (Price, 2005). The Russia fault (Herman and Mitchell, 1991) strikes N.50 o E., closely paralleling the adjacent Reservoir fault, and dips southeast at about 80 o . It contains Paleozoic rocks on both sides. South of the map area the fate of the fault is unknown, and to the north, in the map area, it merges with, or is cut off by the Reservoir fault. Latest movement on the fault appears to have been normal. The fault is characterized by brittle deformation fabric. The Longwood Valley fault strikes about N.45 o E. and dips steeply northwest to vertically. It has Mesoproterozoic rocks on the footwall and Paleozoic rocks on the hanging wall along most of its length. Kinematic indicators suggest the latest movement on the fault was reverse, although south of the map area dip-slip normal movement is predominant. The fault is characterized by brittle deformation fabric. The Brown Mountain fault (Herman and Mitchell, 1991) extends along the west side of Green Pond Mountain. Along most of its length it contains Paleozoic rocks on both sides, but west of the town of Newfoundland it has a small lens of Mesoproterozoic rock on the hanging wall. The fault strikes about N.50 o E. and dips steeply northwest at about 75 o . The fault is characterized by an early ductile fabric that is overprinted by brittle deformational fabric. Kinematic indicators suggest that latest movement on the fault was predominantly reverse. The Gorge fault was named for the prominent gorge at Picatinny Arsenal to the south (Volkert, 2012), where the structure was first recognized. The fault has a strike length of about 6 miles, extending along the southeast side of Green Pond Mountain, where it merges with, or is cut off by, the Tanners Brook-Green Pond fault. The Gorge fault contains Mesoproterozoic rocks on the hanging wall and Green Pond Conglomerate on the footwall. The fault strikes N.40 o E. and dips about 60 o southeast. Latest move- ment appears to have been reverse. The fault is characterized by ductile deformation fabric that is overprinted by brittle deformation fabric. The Tanners Brook-Green Pond fault extends along the valley between Copperas and Green Pond Mountains, from near the town of Newfoundland south to Picatinny Lake (Kummel and Weller, 1902; Barnett, 1976; Herman and Mitchell, 1991). The Tanners Brook fault extends from Picatinny Lake southwest to Califon where it bounds the south side of Long Valley (Volkert and others, 1990). The combined Tanners Brook-Green Pond fault has a strike length of about 30 miles. It contains mainly Paleo- zoic rocks on both sides in the north and Mesoproterozoic rocks on both sides from the Chester quad- rangle southwest to the Califon quadrangle. The fault strikes N.40 o E. and dips northwest at about 75 o . Kinematic indicators suggest that latest movement on the fault was predominantly reverse. The Tanners Brook-Green Pond fault is characterized mainly by brittle deformation fabric. The Union Valley fault (Herman and Mitchell, 1991) extends along the northwest side of Kanouse Mountain, from Greenwood Lake south to the vicinity of Echo Lake. The fault strikes N.30 o E. and dips southeast at about 50 o . It contains Paleozoic rocks on both sides along its entire length. Kinematic indicators suggest that latest movement on the fault was reverse. The fault is characterized by brittle deformation fabric. The Green Turtle Pond fault extends through the northeast corner of the map. It was first recog- nized by R. A. Volkert (unpublished data) in the Greenwood Lake quadrangle to the north where it was exposed during rehabilitation of the dam at Green Turtle Pond. The fault strikes northeast and dips about 70 o northwest. Kinematic indicators record a reverse sense of movement. The fault is characterized by brittle deformation fabric. Mesoproterozoic and Paleozoic rocks throughout the map area are also deformed by small faults that strike northeast or northwest and have widths of a few feet to tens of feet. Most faults are confined to single outcrops, but some of the wider faults may be a result of the merging of smaller, parallel faults. Joints Joints are a common feature in both Paleozoic and Mesoproterozoic rocks in the quadrangle. They are characteristically planar, moderately well formed, and moderately to steeply dipping. Surfaces are typically unmineralized, except near faults, and are smooth and, less commonly, slightly irregular. Joints are varied in their spacing and range from 1 foot to tens of feet. Those developed in massive rocks, such as Mesoproterozoic granite or Paleozoic conglomerate and quartzite, tend to be more widely spaced, irregularly formed and discontinuous than joints in Mesoproterozoic layered gneisses and fine-grained Paleozoic rocks. Joints formed near faults are spaced 2 feet or less apart. In the Paleozoic rocks, northwest-trending cross joints are the most common. They strike at an average of N.37 o W. (fig. 5) and dip mainly northeast at an average of 71 o . The dominant joint trend in the Mesoproterozoic rocks is nearly perpendicular to the strike of crystallization foliation (Volkert, 1996). As a result, joint trends in the Mesoproterozoic rocks are some- what varied because of folding. The dominant set strikes northwest at an average of N.55 o W. (fig. 6) and o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o

INTRODUCTION

The Newfoundland quadrangle is located in northern New Jersey, in Passaic, Morris, and Sussex Counties, in the north-central part of the New Jersey Highlands province. It is situated within the Pequannock River watershed, and this stream drains the area from northwest to southeast. The quad-rangle constitutes an important part of the regional groundwater and surface water supply. Damming of the Pequannock River created the Oak Ridge and Charlotteburg Reservoirs, and impoundment of smaller streams created the Canistear, Clinton, Echo Lake, and Splitrock Reservoirs. The map area is divided into western, central, and eastern parts by the northeast-trending Green Pond Mountain Region. The western and eastern parts are underlain by rocks of Mesoproterozoic age. The topography there is characterized by ridges and stream valleys with variable orientations that reflect the structural complexity and non-linear trend of the bedrock. The central part of the map is underlain by rocks of Paleozoic age. There, the topography is dominated by a series of broad, linear, northeast-trending ridges (Green Pond, Copperas, Kanouse, and Bearfort Mountains) and intervening stream valleys that are influenced by the uniform trend of the bedrock. All of the bedrock was modified by the effects of glaciation during the Pleistocene. The surficial geologic history, and the distribution, thickness, and composition of unconsolidated glacial deposits over-lying bedrock is discussed by Stanford (1991). Bedrock continues to be modified through the processes of weathering and erosion.

STRATIGRAPHYPaleozoic rocks

The youngest rocks in the map area are in the Green Pond Mountain Region, a block of down-faulted and folded sedimentary rocks that extends northeast-southwest and divides the Mesoproterozoic rocks into two sub-equal areas. The origin and stratigraphic relationships of Paleozoic formations of the Green Pond Mountain Region was discussed by Darton (1894), Kümmel and Weller (1902), Barnett (1970), and Herman and Mitchell (1991), and is summarized below. Paleozoic formations record the paleoenvironmental changes spanning breakup of the Rodinian supercontinent through the end of the Acadian orogeny. The Early Cambrian Hardyston Quartzite documents an initial fluvial sedimentation across the older regolith and the subsequent drowning of the eastern North American continental margin during a marine transgression (Aaron, 1969). The overlying dolomite of the Leithsville Formation marks the stabilization of a carbonate passive margin. A long hiatus took place before deposition of the Silurian-age Green Pond Conglomerate which, in the quadrangle, unconformably overlies the Leithsville Formation as well as Mesoproterozoic gneisses. South of the map area, Green Pond Conglomerate stratigraphically rests on Middle and Upper Ordovician Martinsburg For-mation (Barnett, 1976; Herman and Mitchell, 1991). The Green Pond Conglomerate has been correlated to the Shawangunk Formation along Kittatinny Mountain in the Valley and Ridge Physiographic Province to the west (Kümmel and Weller, 1902; Yeakel, 1962; Smith, 1970). Both units represent braided stream deposits (Smith, 1970) eroded from uplands to the east and southeast created during the Taconic orog-eny (Yeakel, 1962; Smith, 1970, Gray and Zeitler, 1997). Silurian sedimentary rocks record a change in depositional environments from fluvial (Green Pond Conglomerate), through marginal marine (Longwood Shale), into shallow marine, and formation of a carbonate passive margin (Poxono Island and Bershire Valley Formations). An unconformity separating the Berkshire Valley Formation and overlying Connelly Conglomerate, which correlates to the widespread Wallbridge unconformity of the Appalachian Basin, marks the approaching influence of the Acadian orogeny (Ver Straeten and others, 1995; Ver Straeten and Brett, 2000; Ver Straeten, 2001). Lower Devonian sedimentary rocks in the map area suggest several small sea level cycles (Esopus Formation and Kanouse Sandstone) before becoming a foredeep (Cornwall Shale). The Middle Devonian Bellvale Sandstone and Skunnemunk Conglomerate mark a progression back into shallower marine conditions, and then into a fluvial environment in which sediments were sourced from uplifted eastern mountains that resulted from the Acadian orogeny (Kirby, 1981). On the east side of the Green Pond Mountain Region, Green Pond Conglomerate rests unconformably on Mesoproterozoic rocks along Copperas and Kanouse Mountains. An exception is north of Echo Lake, where Hardyston Quartzite is in unconformable contact with both the Silurian and Mesoproterozoic rocks. On the west side of the Green Pond Mountain Region, Paleozoic rocks are in fault contact with Mesoproterozoic rocks along the Reservoir fault.

Neoproterozoic rocks Diabase dikes of Neoproterozoic age are located southeast of the Canistear and Charlotteburg Reservoirs, and also east of Hoot Owl Lake, in the southeast part of the map, where they intrude Mesopro-terozoic rocks but not Cambrian or younger rocks. Dikes strike predominantly N.43oW. to N.56oW., and very locally N.33oE. Those at Charlotteburg Reservoir were mapped by Parrillo (1959) during construction but they are no longer exposed. Dikes are as much as three feet wide, and they have fine-grained to apha-nitic chilled margins and sharp contacts against Mesoproterozoic rocks. Elsewhere in the Highlands dikes display columnar jointing and contain xenoliths of Mesoproterozoic rocks, confirming they are younger in age than Mesoproterozoic. Dikes are interpreted as having been emplaced into a rift-related, extensional tectonic setting in the Highlands at about 600 Ma during breakup of the supercontinent Rodinia (Volkert and Puffer, 1995).

Mesoproterozoic rocks The majority of the quadrangle is underlain by rocks of Mesoproterozoic age that include various granites and gneisses metamorphosed to granulite facies at ca.1045 to 1024 Ma (Volkert and others, 2010). Tem-perature estimates for this high-grade metamorphic event are ~769oC based on a regional study using calcite-graphite thermometry (Peck and others, 2006). Among the oldest Mesoproterozoic rocks are those of the Losee Suite (Drake, 1984; Volkert and Drake, 1999), a calc-alkaline assemblage formed in a magmatic arc (Volkert, 2004). These include quartz-rich rocks mapped as quartz-oligoclase gneiss, biotite-quartz-oligoclase gneiss, hypersthene-quartz-plagioclase gneiss, albite-oligoclase alaskite, and quartz-poor rocks mapped as amphibolite and diorite gneiss, all of which were formed from plutonic and volcanic protoliths (Volkert and Drake, 1999; Volkert, 2004). Representative rocks of the Losee Suite from elsewhere in the Highlands yield sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe (SHRIMP) U-Pb zircon ages of 1282 to 1248 Ma (Volkert and others, 2010). Magmatic arc rocks of the Losee Suite are spatially associated with a succession of supracrustal rocks formed in a back-arc basin that was located along the continental margin west of the Losee magmatic arc (Volkert, 2004). Supracrustal rocks include a bimodal suite of volcanic rocks and metasedimentary gneisses. Volcanic rocks formed from rhyolite protoliths are mapped as potassic feldspar gneiss, and mafic volcanic rocks formed from basalt protoliths are mapped as amphibolite. Metasedimentary rocks formed mainly from clastic protoliths are mapped as biotite-quartz-feldspar gneiss, clinopyroxene-quartz-feldspar gneiss, and pyroxene gneiss. Mineralogical variants of pyroxene gneiss form distinct units that contain abundant biotite, hornblende, or both minerals, and they are mapped separately in order to define fold structures in the northwest part of the map. Supracrustal rocks west of the map area yield SHRIMP U-Pb zircon ages of 1299 to 1259 Ma (Volkert and others, 2010) that closely overlap the age of rocks of the Losee Suite.

STRUCTUREPaleozoic bedding and cleavage

Bedding in the Paleozoic formations of the Green Pond Mountain Region strikes mainly northeast at an average of N.42oE. (fig. 1). Most beds are upright and dip northwest, and less commonly southeast, and locally are overturned steeply southeast. Beds range in dip from 4o to 90o and average 54o. Cleavage deforms some of the finer grained sedimentary rocks and also those where localized faulting is present. The average strike of cleavage is N.44oE. (fig. 2). The dip ranges from 8o to 90o and averages 65o Generally, cleavage dips southeast, but northwest-dipping to vertical measurements were also recorded. Locally, a crenulation cleavage, or second spaced cleavage, has been observed in some units in the map.

DESCRIPTION OF MAP UNITSGREEN POND MOUNTAIN REGION

Skunnemunk Conglomerate (Middle Devonian) (Darton, 1894) – Grayish-purple to grayish-red, thin- to very thick-bedded, locally cross-bedded, polymictic conglomerate and sandstone containing clasts of white vein quartz, red and green quartzite and sandstone, red and gray chert, and red shale; interbedded with medium-gray, thin-bedded sandstone and greenish-gray and grayish-red, mud-cracked shale. Conglomerate and sandstone matrix is primary hematite and microcrystalline quartz. Conglomerate cobbles range to 6.5 in. long, and average cobble size increases in upper part of unit. Lower contact is conformable and gradational as defined by Kümmel and Weller (1902). Unit is about 3,000 ft thick.

Bellvale Sandstone (Middle Devonian) (Bellvale Flags of Darton, 1894; Willard, 1937) –Upper beds are grayish-red to grayish-purple sandstone containing quartz pebbles as large as 1 in. in diameter. Lower beds are light-olive-gray- to yellowish-gray- and greenish-black-weathering, medium-gray to medium-bluish-gray, very thin- to very thick-bedded siltstone and sandstone crossbedded, graded, and interbedded with black to dark-gray shale. More san-dstone in upper beds and becomes finer downward. Lower contact conformable with the Cor-nwall Shale and placed where beds thicken and volume of shale and siltstone are about equal. Unit is 1,750 to 2,000 ft. thick

Cornwall Shale (Middle Devonian) (Hartnagel, 1907) – Black to dark-gray, very thin- to thick-bedded, fossiliferous, fissile shale, interbedded with medium-gray and light-olive-gray to yellowish-gray, laminated to very thin-bedded siltstone that increases in upper part. Lower contact with Kanouse Sandstone probably conformable. Unit is about 950 ft. thick

The Newfoundland quadrangle also contains abundant granite of the Byram and Lake Hopatcong Intrusive Suites that comprise the Vernon Supersuite (Volkert and Drake, 1998). It includes monzonite, quartz monzonite, granite, and alaskite that have A-type geochemical compositions (Volkert and others, 2000). These suites are well exposed throughout the map area, where they intrude rocks of the Losee Suite and supracrustal rocks. A sample of Byram granite from along Route 23, southeast of Echo Lake yields a SHRIMP U-Pb zircon age of 1182 Ma, similar to ages of 1188 to 1184 Ma for Byram and Lake Hopatcong rocks from elsewhere in the Highlands (Volkert and others, 2010). The youngest Mesoproterozoic rocks in the area are small, irregular bodies of granite pegmatite that have intruded other Mesoproterozoic rocks. Pegmatites are unfoliated, and they have sharp, discor-dant contacts, confirming their emplacement following the thermal metamorphic peak of the Ottawan orogeny at 1024 Ma. Pegmatites elsewhere in the Highlands yield U-Pb zircon ages of 1004 to 986 Ma (Volkert and others, 2005). Other Mesoproterozoic rock in the quadrangle includes amphibolite of several different origins. Most amphibolite that is spatially associated with the Losee Suite is metavolcanic, whereas amphibolite that is interlayered with the supracrustal rocks may be metavolcanic or metasedimentary in origin. All variants of amphibolite are shown undifferentiated on the map.

Proterozoic foliation Crystallization foliation in the Mesoproterozoic rocks (formed by the parallel alignment of constitu-ent mineral grains) strikes predominantly northeast at an average of N.20oE. (fig. 3). Foliations locally are variable, especially in the northwest part of the map, owing to the presence of folds that range in scale from outcrop to major regional extent. Foliations dip mainly southeast, and locally northwest, although in the hinge area of fold structures dips are north. The dip of all foliations ranges from 21o to 90o and averages 55o.

Folds Folds in Paleozoic rocks of the Green Pond Mountain Region are part of a major northeast-plunging synclinorium, the axis of which passes through Bearfort Mountain. Folds on either side of the axis consist of upright synclines that plunge northeast, southwest, or are doubly plunging. Folds on Kanouse Mountain are gently inclined to recumbent. Outcrop-scale folds are exceptionally well exposed along Route 23 near the town of Newfound-land and these folds have been a classic field trip stop for decades. The folds deform the Green Pond Conglomerate, and they include an anticline and syncline (fig. 4) that plunges 6o southwest. Beds strike about N53oE and dip 40o northwest on the west limb and 56o southeast on the east limb. A pervasive subvertical axial planar cleavage cuts both of the folds. Folding is likely a result of westward-verging compression during the Alleghanian orogeny, because the folds deform siliciclastic and carbonate rocks of both Silurian and Devonian age. The dominant fold geometry in Mesoproterozoic rocks consists of antiforms and synforms that have northeast-striking axial surfaces. These folds are northeast-plunging and upright or northwest overturned, and less commonly southeast overturned. Other folds have north-striking axial surfaces and are northeast-plunging and upright or northwest overturned. The overall sequence of folding is uncertain, but at least three phases of folding are preserved (fig. 4), particularly in the northwest part of the map. They may be a continuation of the same fold phase that resulted from differences in the vector of compressional stress at about 1045 Ma, or superimposed folding related to separate Mesoproterozoic tectonothermal events. Regardless, the folds deform crystallization foliation, but not postorogenic pegmatites, and thus were formed no later than the Ottawan orogeny. The plunge of mineral lineations in Mesoproterozoic rocks is parallel to the axial surface of each of the fold phases. The plunge trend displays three populations that average 24o N.31oE., 28o N.48oE. and 38o N.75oE., with 50 percent of all lineations plunging N.41oE. to N.57oE. No southwest plunging lineations or folds in Mesoproterozoic rocks were recognized.

Faults Northeast-trending faults are the most common type in the quadrangle and they deform both Mesoproterozoic and Paleozoic rocks. From northwest, the major faults are the Reservoir, Russia, Long-wood Valley, Brown Mountain, Gorge, Tanners Brook-Green Pond, Union Valley, and Green Turtle Pond. Faulting of Mesoproterozoic rocks is characterized mainly by brittle deformation fabric that includes breccia, gouge, retrogression of mafic mineral phases, chlorite or epidote-coated fractures or slicken-sides, and (or) close-spaced fracture cleavage. Locally, Mesoproterozoic rocks along the Reservoir and Brown Mountain faults preserve a ductile deformation fabric that consists of steeply-dipping to vertical mylonite or protomylonite that is subparallel to the crystallization foliation. The Reservoir fault extends from New York State southwest to Schooleys Mountain (Drake and others, 1996). In the map area the fault contains Paleozoic rocks on the hanging wall and Mesoprotero-zoic rocks on the footwall, but to the south it contains Mesoproterozoic rocks on both sides of the fault. The fault strikes about N.40oE. and ranges in dip from steep northwest or southeast to vertical. It records a history of multiple reactivations dating from the Mesoproterozoic that display a movement sense ranging from normal to strike slip and reverse, with latest movement having been normal. The Reservoir fault is characterized by ductile deformation fabric overprinted by a pervasive brittle deformation fabric that envelops the mylonite. An unnamed splay, located east of Buckabear Pond, is cut off by, or merges with, the Reservoir fault. The splay strikes N.20oE. to N.30oE. and dips about 90o. It has a ductile fabric that is overprinted by brittle fabric, similar to deformation features observed along the Reservoir fault. The timing of reactivation of the Reservoir fault using 40Ar/39Ar isotope analysis reflects a complex deformation history subsequent to cooling from Ottawan metamorphism, likely due to hydrother-mal fluid movement along the fault. Amphibole age spectra yield disturbed patterns, suggesting possible resetting of amphibole at about 722 Ma and of biotite inclusions in amphibole at about 322 Ma (Price, 2005). The Russia fault (Herman and Mitchell, 1991) strikes N.50oE., closely paralleling the adjacent Reservoir fault, and dips southeast at about 80o. It contains Paleozoic rocks on both sides. South of the map area the fate of the fault is unknown, and to the north, in the map area, it merges with, or is cut off by the Reservoir fault. Latest movement on the fault appears to have been normal. The fault is characterized by brittle deformation fabric. The Longwood Valley fault strikes about N.45oE. and dips steeply northwest to vertically. It has Mesoproterozoic rocks on the footwall and Paleozoic rocks on the hanging wall along most of its length. Kinematic indicators suggest the latest movement on the fault was reverse, although south of the map area dip-slip normal movement is predominant. The fault is characterized by brittle deformation fabric. The Brown Mountain fault (Herman and Mitchell, 1991) extends along the west side of Green Pond Mountain. Along most of its length it contains Paleozoic rocks on both sides, but west of the town of Newfoundland it has a small lens of Mesoproterozoic rock on the hanging wall. The fault strikes about N.50oE. and dips steeply northwest at about 75o. The fault is characterized by an early ductile fabric that is overprinted by brittle deformational fabric. Kinematic indicators suggest that latest movement on the fault was predominantly reverse. The Gorge fault was named for the prominent gorge at Picatinny Arsenal to the south (Volkert, 2012), where the structure was first recognized. The fault has a strike length of about 6 miles, extending along the southeast side of Green Pond Mountain, where it merges with, or is cut off by, the Tanners Brook-Green Pond fault. The Gorge fault contains Mesoproterozoic rocks on the hanging wall and Green Pond Conglomerate on the footwall. The fault strikes N.40oE. and dips about 60o southeast. Latest move-ment appears to have been reverse. The fault is characterized by ductile deformation fabric that is overprinted by brittle deformation fabric. The Tanners Brook-Green Pond fault extends along the valley between Copperas and Green Pond Mountains, from near the town of Newfoundland south to Picatinny Lake (Kummel and Weller, 1902; Barnett, 1976; Herman and Mitchell, 1991). The Tanners Brook fault extends from Picatinny Lake southwest to Califon where it bounds the south side of Long Valley (Volkert and others, 1990). The combined Tanners Brook-Green Pond fault has a strike length of about 30 miles. It contains mainly Paleo-zoic rocks on both sides in the north and Mesoproterozoic rocks on both sides from the Chester quad-rangle southwest to the Califon quadrangle. The fault strikes N.40oE. and dips northwest at about 75o. Kinematic indicators suggest that latest movement on the fault was predominantly reverse. The Tanners Brook-Green Pond fault is characterized mainly by brittle deformation fabric. The Union Valley fault (Herman and Mitchell, 1991) extends along the northwest side of Kanouse Mountain, from Greenwood Lake south to the vicinity of Echo Lake. The fault strikes N.30oE. and dips southeast at about 50o. It contains Paleozoic rocks on both sides along its entire length. Kinematic indicators suggest that latest movement on the fault was reverse. The fault is characterized by brittle deformation fabric. The Green Turtle Pond fault extends through the northeast corner of the map. It was first recog-nized by R. A. Volkert (unpublished data) in the Greenwood Lake quadrangle to the north where it was exposed during rehabilitation of the dam at Green Turtle Pond. The fault strikes northeast and dips about 70o northwest. Kinematic indicators record a reverse sense of movement. The fault is characterized by brittle deformation fabric. Mesoproterozoic and Paleozoic rocks throughout the map area are also deformed by small faults that strike northeast or northwest and have widths of a few feet to tens of feet. Most faults are confined to single outcrops, but some of the wider faults may be a result of the merging of smaller, parallel faults.

Joints Joints are a common feature in both Paleozoic and Mesoproterozoic rocks in the quadrangle. They are characteristically planar, moderately well formed, and moderately to steeply dipping. Surfaces are typically unmineralized, except near faults, and are smooth and, less commonly, slightly irregular. Joints are varied in their spacing and range from 1 foot to tens of feet. Those developed in massive rocks, such as Mesoproterozoic granite or Paleozoic conglomerate and quartzite, tend to be more widely spaced, irregularly formed and discontinuous than joints in Mesoproterozoic layered gneisses and fine-grained Paleozoic rocks. Joints formed near faults are spaced 2 feet or less apart. In the Paleozoic rocks, northwest-trending cross joints are the most common. They strike at an average of N.37oW. (fig. 5) and dip mainly northeast at an average of 71o. The dominant joint trend in the Mesoproterozoic rocks is nearly perpendicular to the strike of crystallization foliation (Volkert, 1996). As a result, joint trends in the Mesoproterozoic rocks are some-what varied because of folding. The dominant set strikes northwest at an average of N.55oW. (fig. 6) and
