Descriptive Narrative:

The southwestern part of this quarry is continuous with an outcrop that exposes a contact zone between red and gray granite. The outcrop has numerous shears or "mini-faults" and the contact may be related to a larger fault. It also displays good glacial polish. Most of the walls of the quarry consist of glacial overburden.

Quarry Ten is one of the smallest and more shallow quarries in the park. It has a maximum depth of 20 feet and has a low, swampy area along the eastside. Some of the most recent quarrying activity may have taken place in this quarry, but even that was probably several decades ago.
