...stern New England (Fig. 1) are dominantly igneous plutonic and volcanic rocks, and sediments derived by the erosion of these once molten materials. In other words, we interpret the Avalonian terrain of the Boston area as having been part of a volcanic archipelago during the time period from about 900 to about 570 million years ago, perhaps not unlike the Japanese archipelago off the coast of Asia today.
