The Ordivician age Post Pond volcanics that outcrop in Norwich, Vermont, were mapped as a member of the Ammonosuc Volcanics (Hadley and Chapman (1939; Oop = Orfordville Formation) and extend from the Connecticut River westward to near their contact with the Ammonousuc Thrust fault (Siluro-Devonian/Ordivician unconformity). The Post Pond Volcanics boundary line trends northeast from 72° 15' 00" W near the summit of Blood Mountain to the Norwich-Thetford town boundary just north and west of Lewin Pond. The wonesite type locality is specifically "... from the kyanite zone approximately 20 m below the Siluro-Devonian unconformity." However, that "locality" is several kilometers long. Hadley (1950) noted: "The metasedimentary rocks consist of feldspathic quartzite and staurolite-kyanite-bearing quartz-mica schists. The metavolcanic types, corresponding to the Post Pond member in the Sawyer Mountain belt, are exposed in many knobs and hills in the vicinity of Wilmot Mountain [Thetford] and Blood Mountain [Norwich]."
