Yes. It’s hard to all sort out. Those rocks were once the intrusions under volcanos. The same can be said about the granite most places.

Just a case of GAIA getting her rocks off.
It’s no wonder that I failed Stratigraphy. However, I did find a new subspecies of Conodont. Also found a Bellumnitella at the Hechinger site, Landover, Md. along with a small dinosaur knuckle (My daughter actually find that. I found the Mosasaur tooth and vertebrae).
Graptolites out near Route 81 near Luray Caverns. Kids loved them.
Just bragging. Oh, dozens of baseball and softball-sized Culcullaea Gigantia across from the Hechinger site, on Central Avenue (Giant clamshells/molds to you amateurs). Make great gifts and paperweights. About 60 million years old (somewhere between the Paleocene and the Eocene).
How about radioactive Glauconitic sands from the Vincetown Formation in New Jersey? Full of Bryozoa and Foraminarifera (spelling is way off). Little guys in shallow seas. About 120 Million years old. Kinda cute.

YES they are grand! I was there in 2013! Wish to go again!

Fascinating. Great avocation. Requires a better eye for detail than mine.
