Gabbro stocks and dikes of the usual Adirondack sort are promi- 

 nently developed in the southwestern half of the quadrangle, each 

 of two of the stocks occupying several square miles. 



Pegmatite and diabase dikes of the usual kinds, both later than 

 the gabbro, are well represented. A few small dikes of aplite 

 were also observed cutting the gabbro. 



Two small areas of Paleozoic strata are known in and near 

 Schroon Lake village. One of these is Potsdam sandstone and the 

 other is Little Falls ( ?) dolomite. 



Fifteen faults and zones of excessive jointing have been located 

 and these have notably influenced the topographic development. 



Pleistocene deposits are very widespread, being especially thick 

 in the more prominent valleys where the underlying rocks are in 

 many places effectually concealed by them. 



The following list includes the principal publications which con- 

 tain statements regarding the Schroon Lake quadrangle itself and 

 the adjoining districts, as well as certain other papers which aid in 

 understanding the geologic features of the quadrangle :
