Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Geology of the Fox Islands, Maine: A Contribution to the Study of Old Volcanics
Geographical. The rock-bound coast of Maine offers special attractions to the geologist. It is characterized by many deep in dentations, the largest being Penobscot Bay, in which are situated the Fox Islands. These islands, a geological study of which is here presented, are slightly over eight miles due east from the city of Rockland and about twenty-five southwest from Mount Desert. Like the latter island, the Fox Islands lie just within the general coast-line which has a southwest and northeast trend. Unlike Mount Desert, however, they are at some distance from the main land, being nearly in the middle of the bay, which is twenty-eight miles wide, from Owls Head to Naskeag Point. To the southeast and southwest, these islands are exposed to the Open Atlantic, but to the south about ten miles distant is an outer fringe of small islands, the Matinicus group.
