Summary

[edit]
Description

Fossiliferous sandstone in the Mississippian of Ohio, USA.

This is part of a talus block of coarse-grained quartzose sandstone derived from an outcrop in Knox County. It is inferred to be from the Logan Formation, a Lower Mississippian siliciclastics-dominated succession in eastern Ohio. It represents a relatively shallow marine deposit. Observed fossils at this site include brachiopods, crinoids, gastropods, and bellerophontids.

Stratigraphy: Logan Formation, Waverly Group, Osagean Stage, upper Lower Mississippian
