Aug 15, 2011 (A Wilson) - Predominantly pink, fine- to medium-grained paragneiss (meta-arkose) with minor layers of biotite-amphibolite. The pink gneiss has a penetrative foliation indicated by aligned hornblende and biotite grains. It has the appearance of a sandstone. Amphibolite seams contain abundant biotite and considerable epidote. The amphibolite seams constitute about 5% of the rock exposed in the quarry faces, and some define intrafolial recumbent folds closing to the southeast
