Geology
The igneous material is composed almost entirely of mafic and ultramafic rock such as gabbro and olivine-bearing clinopyroxenite. These rocks outcrop in some places and are otherwise covered by dark brown stony loam, sandy loam or loamy sand which has been mapped as Montarville series.[2] Mont Rougemont might be the deep extension of a vastly eroded ancient volcanic complex, which was probably active about 125 million years ago.[3] The mountain was created when the North American Plate moved westward over the New England hotspot,[3] along with the other mountains of the Monteregian Hills. It forms part of the vast Great Meteor hotspot track.
