A nepheline-syenite mass comprised of dikes and sills plus a laccolith (?) in Martinsburg Shale. Located about 2 miles NNW of Beemersville on the SE flank of Kittatinny Mountain. This is a significant igneous body which has yet to be exploited for any purpose except specimen collecting on the outcrop.

Important note: This table is based only on rock and mineral ages recorded on mindat.org for this locality and is not necessarily a complete representation of the geochronology, but does give an indication of possible mineralization events relevant to this locality. As more age information is added this table may expand in the future. A break in the table simply indicates a lack of data entered here, not necessarily a break in the geologic sequence. Grey background entries are from different, related, localities.
