NAPPES, GNEISS DOMES AND PLUTONIC SHEETS OF WEST-CENTRAL NEW HAMPSHIRE (1997)

The area between Keene and Hanover in west-central New Hampshire (NH Figure 1) is home to some "classic" geology of the Acadian Appalachians. This geology includes (1) fold nappes which transported highly metamorphosed deep-basin sediments over less-metamorphosed shelf sediments, (2) gneiss domes which subsequently deformed (and metamorphosed) these nappes,and (3) large anatectic plutonic sheets, whose emplacement may have been intimately involved with the formation of the nappes. This publication is field trip observations at this area.
