JURASSIC DIABASE (OPHIOLITE)
Exposed bedrock related to the Mesozoic-era Palisades Sill, which is a massive igneous intrusion of diabase rather than true granite. The site, once a source of rock for Belgian blocks (curbstones), sits within a area characterized by this hard, dark grey-to-black, fine-grained rock.
