Interbedded argillaceous & tuffaceous #sediments
These photos are of #Cambridge #Argillite, exposed above the #Squantum Member of the #Roxbury Conglomerate (#Neoproterozoic). Prior to the 1970s or so, the Squantum Member was interpreted as #glacial sediments; it's now broadly interpreted as debris flows, with the Cambridge being distal turbidites overlying it. I lead a field trip here for #UMassBoston. See captions.
