Rocks along the fault have experienced both ductile and brittle deformation. There is relatively little mylonite in the vicinity of Westborough. The fault is visible along I-495 just east of Westborough and further east, the Bloody Bluff-Lake Char fault splits into smaller branches. One of these faults, tentatively named the Weston fault, may extend into the Boston Basin.

Lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) is a freshwater char living mainly in lakes in northern North America. Other names for it include mackinaw, namaycush, lake char (or charr), touladi, togue, and grey trout. In Lake Superior, it can also be variously known as siscowet, paperbelly and lean. The lake trout is prized both as a game fish and as a food fish.

The Bloody Bluff fault is the boundary between the Milford-Dedham zone and the Nashoba zone in eastern Massachusetts. It runs between Westborough, Massachusetts and Lynnfield, Massachusetts. In the south, into Connecticut, the component Lake Char fault is poorly exposed. The Bloody Bluff fault zone is 3.2 kilometers wide in Framingham, Massachusetts and forms the five kilometer wide Burlington mylonite zone to the north.

Salvelinus umbla, also known as lake char, is a species of char found in certain lakes of the region of the Alps in Europe.Salvelinus umbla - FishBase This char species usually inhabits the deeper waters of the lakes, feeding on crustaceans, insects and benthic fauna. Larger specimens can be piscivores. They look for areas with pebbly or stony bottom on steep slopes, at depths between 30 and 120 m during the spawning season.

This char species lives in alpine and subalpine glacial valley lakes of central Europe, between France and Austria and between Germany and Northern Italy. It has been introduced in high altitude lakes as well. Although it is assessed as a least concern species by IUCN, the eutrophication of the lakes in the Subalpine region, which began in the 1950s and peaked in 1979, badly affected Salvelinus umbla populations, which crashed during that period. The lake char became locally extinct in lakes such as Mondsee and other char species, such as Salvelinus profundus, were driven to extinction in the same period.

Currently, however, most lake char populations are gradually recovering.The German Federal Nature Conservation Agency (BfN): Red List - Volume 1: Vertebrates (2009) - General assessment for the vertebrate groups The name Salvelinus umbla has also been used in Sweden of char populations of central parts of the country, referred to as storröding (large char) in distinction of the northern fjällröding ( = Salvelinus alpinus).Svensson M et al. (2010) Fiskar - Fishes - Pisces In Rödlistade arter i Sverige 2010 (Swedish Red List 2010), 323-332 These populations are not thought to be related to the Central European populations, rather storröding from Lake Sommen and Lake Vättern are closely related to the char of Lake Ladoga in Russia.
