Summary:

Sangerville Formation, in the Buckfield area, is divided into (ascending): Moody Brook, Berry Ledge, Noyes Mountain, Patch Mountain, and Turner Members. Buckfield Group not used. [Intent to revise the above units is not stated, but subdivision of the Sangerville and its lower contact with the Anasagunticook Member of the Waterville Formation are clearly shown in a stratigraphic column.] Order of younging within the sequence differs from reports of previous workers. Graded sequences suggest an inverted lithologic package. Rocks in area subjected to three deformational events.
