Describes general laccolithic nature of the Ireson felsite. The "Laccolitic" nature of the Ireson felsite mass of Ireson's Hill, Mount Desert Island, Maine, was suggested hesitantly by Shaler in 1889 and seems fully assured today, with possibly other such in the region that were later greatly fragmented by Prettymarsh diorite or Cadillac granite. /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/Ireson Hill/Sols Cliff/Great Head/ /ISLANDS/Long Porcupine Island/Bald Porcupine Island/Sheep Porcupine Island/Burnt Porcupine Island/Ironbound Island/
