Dec 07, 2005 (A Wilson) - The Baltimore Lake Deformation Zone (BLDZ) is located in northwestern Stover Township where it is defined by by a 1.2 km wide, SE-trending zone of folding, transposition and shearing. The BLDZ can be traced fro approximately 6 km southeastward across Stover Township. The BLDZ is characterized by rootless isoclinal folds of bedding/schistosity, sinistral and dextral shear folds, transposition and ductile shear zones axial planr to the folds.

Aug 19, 2013 (A Wilson) - The intermediate metavolcanics comprise felsic to intermediate tuffs shot through with narrow quartz veins and pyrrhotite stringers. The sedimentary rocks consist of interbedded units of locally graphitic argillite, greywacke, siltstone and mudstone. Cherty beds, possibly lean iron formation, were observed in the area.
