A large quarry (it was large 40 years ago when this author first saw it) in the northern end of the Palisades diabase intrusive. The pit is located just where the diabase sheet begins a transition from semiconformable sill, that parallels the Hudson River, to a dike that bends away from the river and cuts upward through the sedimentary section, terminating with the lava flows at Ladentown, NY.
According to the Tilcon website (retrieved Sept., 2013): Haverstraw, NY – Also originally owned by New York Trap Rock, Lone Star Industries purchased the site in 1960 and shortly after sold it to a Pennsylvania company, Appalachian Stone Company. In the late 1960s it was sold to Martin Marietta who maintained ownership until 1978, and later sold it to Hudson River Aggregates. Tilcon purchased the site in 1981.
