Book excerpt: Excerpt from Granites of the Southeastern Atlantic States In Bulletins 313 and 354, published in 1907 and 1908 by the United States Geological Survey, the granites of Maine and of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island were described by T. Nelson Dale from both the scientific and the economic standpoint. The present work similarly describes the granites in the Atlantic States south of Pennsylvania, including Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Tennes see, South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama. Chapter I contains a scientific discussion of granite adapted to the general reader, with special reference to the granites of the region described; in later chap ters the occurrences are considered by States, the matter relating to each State being subdivided into a scientific part treating of the gran ite in that particular State and an economic part describing individual granite areas and quarries. The field work on which this report is based was done in 1898, 1899, and 1903 for the state geological surveys of Georgia and North Carolina and in parts of the years 1905 to 1908, inclusive, for the United States Geological Survey. During this time the writer visited the granite quarries in each State described. The petrographic work included the study of more than 600 thin sections of typical rocks.
