These rocks are traversed by a series of gabbro dikes and by a still younger series of tinguaites which cut all the older formations. Thence proceeding to Marblehead Neck, granite will be seen intrusive through the Cambrian rocks, the keratophyre sheet overlaying the old rhyolites, and finally the more recent quartz porphyry dikes.
