Severe faulting has occurred in the Casco Bay, Bath, and Wiscasset quadrangles as indicated by: (1) the presence of mylonites and other cataclastic rocks; (2) an abrupt change in metamorphic intensity; (3) an offset of metamorphic isograds; and (4) a displacement of the axis of the major structural feature through Wiscasset, an antiform. Crustal movement on this 70-mi-long fault zone probably took place during the late stages of the Acadian orogeny, in Late Devonian time. This content is PDF only.
