Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Geology of Ascutney Mountain, Vermont
But it is-not easy to place the radiating drainage of the main moun tain in the accepted classification: of stream courses. There is nothing to show that the eruptives of the area ever reached the surface to form volcanic ?ows 01 cones; they seem rather to have consolidated in the form of a complex stock like boss. The structure of the region shows that the radiating drainage is not the result of inheritance from the surface of a dome 1n the overlying schists, 111 which a difierent pattern of drainage would have predominated, namely, a more or less rectan gular network of stream courses. Such a dome would not likely be able to alter seriously the directions of the streams originating-either in the folding of the schists or in the process by which newer Valleys would be worn out on weak belts parallel to the strike. These radi ating streams can not, thus, be regarded as superposed through the schist blanket once overlying the stocks.
