Prehnite and calcite in cavities in the Jurassic Talcott Basalt, were reported from the talus along the mountian by Robinson (1825). The details in that reference are under the heading for "Farmington", as Avon was part of that town until 1830. Coordinates are arbitrarily set for Ely Mound, which is about the midpoint of the ridge within Avon.
