The rocks at Pemaquid Point Lighthouse for #TextureTuesday. I finally had the chance to visit Pemaquid Point in Bristol, Maine the other day when I happened to be in the area. I was really blown away by the fascinating and beautiful geology of the area around the lighthouse.
According to the Maine Geological Survey, the rocks here are mostly metamorphic with some igneous. The gray layered rock is called gneiss and it was originally sediments at the bottom of the ocean that were metamorphosed 360-415 million years ago into what you see here. The light gray/whitish igneous rock is called pegmatite.
