Koteas GC and Seaman SJ. 2010. Intraplutonic biomodal magma transport zones; evidence from the coastal Maine magmatic province, USA.

"Evidence of lateral magma transport in shallow multiply injected plutons are often subtle or absent because of lack of rheologic and/or compositional differences between subsequent magma generations. However, bimodal plutons such as the Gouldsboro system in eastern coastal Maine preserve excellent evidence of mass movement including transport of wall/roof rock xenoliths and reactivations of solidified plutonic materials...." /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /ACADIA NATIONAL PARK/
