Koteff C and Cotton JE. 1962. Preliminary results of recent deep drilling on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Science. 137(3523):34
In 1961 a 1000-foot drill holl near Harwich on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, penetrated 4335 feet of Pleistocene deposits above 50 to 60 feet of crystalline limestone and phyllitic schist, and more than 500 feet of phyllitic schist with abundant quartz veins. Similar rock is known in the Pennsylavanian and Precambrain (?) sections of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Material of Eocene age was found in earlier dirlling near Provincetown but none was identified from this hole.
