The contact between the metasedimentary Fauquier Formation (uppermost marble member) and the overlying metavolcanic Catoctin Formation is exposed in an abandoned quarry north of Aldie, Virginia, across Goose Creek from Lime Kiln Road. The nature of this contact (is it conformable? does it show primary or tectonic struc...

The Catoctin formation is Neoproterozoic in age and was erupted as a series of flood basalts during the breakup of the Mesoproterozoic su...
