The Preakness Basalt is the source of the carnelian based on the available evidence. Streams in the valley in which carnelian is found have historically received bedrock eroded from outcrops of the Preakness first and second flows. The location of carnelian occurrences in fluvial gravel deposited on pavement outcrops of Preakness gabbroid and also at the foot of hillslopes underlain by the Preakness in unglaciated terrain strongly suggest that carnelian originated from this basalt formation.
