Accotink Schist (Drake and Lyttle, 1981). Light-gray, yellowish-gray to moderate-brown to very-pale-orange-weathering schist and interbedded with micaceous metagraywacke. Locally, schist contains randomly scattered, discontinuous beds of meta-arenite. Schist intervals are 20 to 210 cm thick, but individual sedimentation units average about 1 cm. Mineralogy: quartz + muscovite + biotite + chlorite + plagioclase; accessory minerals include garnet, magnetite, epidote, apatite, zircon, and pyrite. Micaceous metagraywacke appears to be a more quartzofeldspathic element of a pelitic sedimentary sequence. Unit thickness is unknown because the base is nowhere exposed; the Accotink is intruded by Occoquan Granite.
