A type of metamorphic rock formation, or referring to the Catoctin Mountain range in Maryland and Virginia.
Named after the Catoctin Mountains, which likely derives from a Native American word, possibly Algonquian in origin. Used in geology to describe a specific mountain range and its associated rock types.
The Catoctin Mountains contain Camp David, the presidential retreat, and their rocks tell a 600-million-year story of ancient ocean floors that got thrust up during continental collisions.
