Bronson Hill Arc
text:
The Bronson Hill Arc is a bimodal volcanic arc and associated sediments that formed over a west (?) dipping subduction zone during the Ordovician period as part of the Taconic Orogeny. These rocks are presently well exposed along the Connecticut River Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire. The arc is evidenced by plutonism and extrusive volcanism, including the Ammonoosuc Volcanics and the overlying Partridge Formation. It is related to the slightly older Shelburne Falls arc that lies to the west.
