The Selborne Group comprises two metamorphic rock units, the muscovitedolomite bearing Madison Marble and the biotite-muscovitequartz-calcite Contortion Schist, which contains thick lenses of variably deformed metabasalts and metaconglomerates. Petrological and structural data indicate a polyphase m...
