The Sutton Mountains form the principle western tectonic element of the Appalachian Mountain system of Southern Quebec and a northern continuation of the Green Mountains in Vermont. In the area under study the Sutton Mountains are underlain by a fairly-uniform assemblage of schists of the lower greenschist facies which are generally referred to as the Sutton Schists. Thin quartz layering and a uniformly-developed schistosity, generally parallel to this layering, form a bread anticlinal arch, the Green Mountain - Sutton Mountain anticline, in which several schistosities and associated lineations are developed. The schists grade to the east and to the west perpendicular to the regional trend into less metamorphosed sedimentary rocks of various types and ages ranging from Precambrian(?) to Cambrian. [...]
