Stockbridge formation marble unit. (Note: While this site - and others - is often referred to as being "quarries," it actually isn't. "Quarrying" is the process of cutting rock out in blocks or slabs. When rock is simply blasted out as rocuh chunks for further processeing - as appears to have been the case here - the process is called open-pit mining, not quarrying.)
