From Abstract, 'Dikes of granite crowded with rounded masses of diabase are described in detail and their origin discussed. Where diabase masses are closely packed, outcrops appear as diabase dikes cut by a network of granite veins or may resemble pillow lava insinuated by thin veins of granite. Veins appear non-dilational and of replacement origin. /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/
