| Description |
The Pottsville Group is a Pennsylvanian-aged cyclothemic succession in eastern Ohio that contains nonmarine shales, marine shales, siltstones, sandstones, coals, marine limestones, and chert ("flint"). The lower Pottsville dates to the late Early Pennsylvanian. The upper part dates to the early Middle Pennsylvanian. The Lower-Middle Pennsylvanian boundary is apparently somewhere near the Boggs Member (?). The light-colored blocks littering the slope are all (or almost all) sandstone. The dark-colored slope under the surface talus is weathered shales. The black chunks and the black to dark brown weathering horizon near the top of the photo (= just below the vegetation) is bituminous coal - the Vandusen Coal. Stratigraphy: lower Pottsville Group, upper Morrowan Stage, upper Lower Pennsylvanian Locality: Irish Ridge East Outcrop - roadcut along the northern side of the eastbound entrance ramp from Rt. 60 to Rt. 16 (southeastern portion of Rt. 16-Rt. 60 interchange), north-northwest of the towns of Trinway & Dresden, northern Cass Township, northwestern Muskingum County, eastern Ohio, USA (~40° 09’ 13.56” North latitude, ~82° 01’ 29.37” West longitude) |
