| Description |
Black shale in the Mississippian of Ohio, USA. The Sunbury Shale is a black mudshale succession in Ohio - it is the oldest fully Mississippian-aged unit in the state. It occurs above the Berea Sandstone and below the Cuyahoga Formation. The Sunbury essentially identical to the older Ohio Shale. Compared with the Ohio Shale, the Sunbury is considerably thinner. Sunbury outcrops are uncommon, but an extensive exposure is present at the Tener Mountain roadcut in southern Ohio. The unweathered rocks are black mudshales, but weathered material consists of medium- to light-colored chips. I have not observed fossils in the Sunbury at this site, but the literature refers to lingulid brachiopod fragments in the lower Sunbury. Stratigraphy: Sunbury Shale, Kinderhookian Stage, lower Lower Mississippian Locality: Tener Mountain roadcut along the northwestern side of Rt. 32 (= Appalachian Highway), a little northeast of the Rt. 32-Union Hill Road intersection & just northeast of the Adams County-Pike County line, far-southwestern Pike County, southern Ohio, USA (vicinity of 39° 01' 27.83" North latitude, 83° 16' 24.98" West longitude) |
