Reviews and Abstracts
Field observations of Early Jurassic Watchung Basalt throughout the Watchung syncline, including 17 large trap-rock quarries, provide new data on the number of flows, their structure, and the eruptive style of the lavas. Three Orange Mountain Basalt flows, five Preakness Basalt flows, and two Hook Mountain Basalt flows are mapped. The volcanic structures and the eruptive style of the Watchung Basalt flows are typical of continental flood-basalt provinces. The great thickness and large lateral extent of Watchung flows and their pahoehoe surfaces confirm geochemical evidence that viscosity of the lavas was low and eruptive rates were high. Low viscosity of the First Preakness flow and its unusually great thickness (up to 150 m) may account for the thick, phaneritic, diabasic zones and the small lenses of basaltic pegmatite in the flow. Several different kinds of flow structures, including cooling joint patterns and vesicle distributions, indicate that most Watchung lava flowed onto a dry land surface but that some flowed into large lakes. Subaerial cooling of most Watchung flows produced a shrinkage joint pattern that consists of a single basal colonnade and a well-developed entablature. These early primary shrinkage joints were modified later by tectonic joints. The Watchung Basalt is cut by strike-slip faults that strike N30°W. These faults are consistent with north-south compression that coincided with development of the Watchung syncline. Chemical alteration processes that have modified the Watchung Basalt to varying degrees include weathering, salt-water reactions, sediment assimilation, hydrothermal activity, and metasomatism. The lower colonnades of most flows have been particularly affected by saline waters, resulting in major variations in SiO 2 , FeO, MgO, CaO, Na 2 O, K 2 O, Cu, and Zn.

The Palisades Sill and Watchung basalt flows, northern New Jersey
Location The early Jurassic Palisades Sill and the three Watchung Basalts (the Orange Mountain, Preakness, and Hook Mountain Basalts) of northeastern New Jersey are best examined at the ninestops listed below and shown in Figure 1. Stop 1. Palisades Sill at Ross Dock, Palisades State Park. Road cut through park, minor traffic, large parking lot, picnic tables. From I-95 eastbound, take Exit 67–Fort Lee (lastexit in New Jersey), and continue east toward the Hudson Riveron Bridge Plaza. Turn right onto River Road, proceed 0.4 mi (0.6km) then turn left into entrance of Palisades Park and follow thepark road 0.9 mi (1.4 km) east and north under the George Washington Bridge. At the first traffic circle, turn to the right and down the hill, to the parking lot at Ross Dock. Stop 2. Palisades Sill at Nyack Beach State Park. Footpath along Hudson River escarpment, large parking lot, picnictables. From downtown Nyack, New York, proceed 2.0 mi (3.2km) north on Broadway along the Hudson River. Turn right intothe parking lot of Nyack Beach State Park. Stop 3. Ladentown Basalt, Ladentown, New York. Exposuresalong major highway, heavy traffic. From New Jersey 306 northbound, turn left onto New Jersey 202 and proceed 1.0 mi (1.6 km) southwest. The Ladentown Basalt is exposedalong New Jersey 202 on the left, directly across from a firehydrant.

History of the American Museum of Natural History meteorite collection
Abstract The core meteorite collection of the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH), New York, including the massive Cape York and Willamette irons, dates from the three decades ending in 1905. Acquisition of new meteorites was steady into the 1970s, and accelerated in the latter 20th century. Institutional and philanthropic support, coupled with the focus, energy and vision of a succession of curators, have been central to building the collection, exhibiting meteorites, educating the public and participating at the cutting edge of meteoritical science. Efforts to describe and classify, characteristic of the pre-war period, evolved into detailed chemical investigations. Recent science seeks to find underlying processes unifying disparate meteorite groups in a coherent story of the early solar system and planet formation.
