Summary:

Hoboken serpentine, also called Staten Island serpentine, is an intrusive, which forms the elevated portion of Staten Island and the Knob at Castle Point, in Hoboken. Age is undetermined, though in all cases it is probably more closely associated with Manhattan schist [Precambrian] than with any other important formation.
