Abstract
Petrology and Source of Sediments in the Narragansett Basin of Rhode Island and Massachusetts
Kenneth M. Towe
ABSTRACT
The Narragansett Basin, a Pennsylvanian epieugeosyncline, contains five lithologic units, the most extensive of which is the Rhode Island Formation. The rocks of the Basin are predominantly sandstone and conglomerate and all are of continental origin. Lithic graywacke is the common sandstone type and the poorly sorted conglomerates are made up mostly of quartzite roundstones. Cross-stratification and the orientation of plant fossils indicate that the major source area for the sediments of the Narragansett Basin lay to the northeast.
