Abstract
The Palisades sill is a high-titanium quartz-normative shallow diabase intrusion with a relatively simple geometry; it was emplaced during the Early Jurassic into Triassic strata of the Newark Supergroup. The sill is approximately 300m thick and crops out along the western shore of the Hudson River. It has well-developed upper and lower chill margins, which are exposed in several areas along its strike length. Immediately above the lower chill is a cumulate zone (olivine and orthopyroxene), which is overlain by a diabase zone, above which is a ferrodiorite zone of late differentiates. An anomalous unit with very high Pd contents was found in the lower part of the ferrodiorite zone.
