Pg. 127-158, describing Barnard, Pomfret, and Woodstock Twps., Windsor Co., southeastern VT, which lie short distance to southwest of Vershire Twp, stated: Woodstock schist may be considered by some geologists to be Vershire schist of earlier reports, but Vershire schist overlies Waits River limestone, and Woodstock schist apparently underlies Waits River limestone. If this interpretation is true, then Vershire schist and Woodstock schist represent two different formations, and a new name is needed, hence Woodstock schist is here introduced, from outcrops in Woodstock. It is represented by 2 beds intercalated in Waits River limestone, which are very quartzose, micaceous, and grade into a micaceous quartzite.
