• The base of the LPC is equivalent to the uppermost part of the lower Hopkinton member, and is composed mainly of breccia beds with chert and large limestone interclasts in a slightly sandy mud matrix. The portion of the LPC equivalent to the Farmers Creek Quarry Member contains brecciated chert beds, a bio-dolo-mud- to wackestone with crinoid debris, and bio-mud- to packstones. Chert nodules are scattered throughout. The portion of the LPC equivalent to the Picture Rock Member of the Hopkinton Formation is a green, calcareous shale to mudstone, and the remainder are bio-wacke- to packstones. The portion of the LPC equivalent to the BCQ Member of the Scotch Grove Formation is composed of predominantly mudstones with scattered crinoid debris punctuated by occasional bio-wacke- to packstones with crinoid debris and brachiopod fossils. There are some intervals of argillaceous mudstones and calcareous green shales that are more predominant in the middle of the BCQ equivalent in the GC.
