Breccia is well developed on Mount Desert Island. 'Breccias, with a structure resembling pillow lava, are well developed on Mount Desert Island, Maine. They consist of pillow-shaped fragments of diabase or gabbro in a matrix or vein network of granitic material. This type of breccia deserves a special name, and the descriptive term pillow breccia is here proposed.' /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/
