Within the Appalachian orogenic belt, southeastern New England                  plays a key role in models for Appalachian orogenesis, because it               contains one of the last accreted terranes and appears to have the              most complete record of the Alleghanian Orogeny.  Part of this                  history involves igneous activity, including late Proterozoic arc               accretion, followed by episodic extensional quartz-rich alkalic                 magmatism throughout much of the Paleozoic succeeded finally by a               brief period of peraluminous granite emplacement in the Permian.                This study involves extensive zircon geochronology on two suites                of volcanic rocks from the Avalon terrane.  The study of these                  rocks may clarify crustal, tectonic and magmatic processes that                 occurred during the pre-collisional and early accretion stages of               the Alleghanian orogenic episode of New England.
