I.—On Certain Affinities Between the Devonian Rocks of South Devon and the Metamorphic Schists
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
In comparing the quartz-schists with the Devonian sandstones, or grit-bands, several original minerals can be traced from the one to the other, e.g. tourmaline, mica, and at least two quartzes. In the case of the Green Rocks and Devonian Volcanics we are met at the outset with the difficulty, that not a grain or crystal of an original mineral has been recorded with confidence as occurring in the metamorphic Green Rocks; though there seems to be little doubt that the latter are often metamorphosed diabases.
