The formation occurs as thin 10-20 cm wide lenses extending from 0.5 to 6 meters in length. They are found most commonly along a 200 to 250 meter section of the shore in the intertidal zone. The intact lenses trend northeast at about 25° to 35° and dip at 61° to 75°. The material occurs in a variety of forms. These include hematite and clay rich botyoidal (grape-like) surfaces, as iron hardpan cementing together gravel and pebble-sized stones, and as 1-2 cm wide pisolites (concentrically layered round structures).

Included are deposit name, location, commodity, deposit description, geologic characteristics, production, reserves, resources, and references. It subsumes the original MRDS and MAS/MILS. MRDS is large and complex. This service provides a subset of the database comprised of those data fields deemed most useful and which most frequently contain some information, but full reports of most records are available as well. %I USGS %G eng %U http://tin.er.usgs.gov/mrds/ %0 Generic %D 0 %T Minerals Yearbook for Massachusetts %K #Collecting %K #EducationalResources %K #MassGeology %K #MineralDatabase %K #MineralResources %K #Minerals %K industrial %K minerals %K quarries %I USGS %G eng %U http://minerals.usgs.gov/minerals/pubs/state/ma.html
