Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Geological Survey of Ohio, 1878, Vol. 3: Geology and Paleontology; Part 1, Geology During the first two years Of the existence Of the Geological Survey, much attention was given to the Cincinnati arch, and its structure and age were then, for the first time, accurately determined. These are dis cussed at some length in the first volume Of this report, and it is there stated that this arch is a great fold Of the strata raised at the close Of the Lower Silurian age, when it formed two islands, one in Tennessee, the other in Kentucky and Ohio, around which the more recent rocks were deposited on a mping shore. It was also shown that no evidence exists that these islands have ever been completely submerged since the close of the Lower Silurian age, and it was suggested that the broad, depressed areas Of Silurian rocks, which now mark their sites, were produced by the solution and removal by atmospheric water Of the limestones Of which they were composed. Some doubt has been expressed by Prof. E. T. Cox, the able State Geol Ogist Of Indiana, whether the theory Of the history and structure Of the Cincinnati arch, given in our report, is the true one, and he advances the view that it should be rather regarded as a. Mass Of the Lower Silu rian limeston°es which formed a highland Of the ancient continent, sub sequently submerged, and receiving on its top and sides the sediments that compose the more recent groups Of rocks. In answer to this theory, it may be said that, whatever it may seem to be in Indiana, the Cincin nati axis in Ohio is unmistakably an anticlinal ridge. Of which the arched strata Of the Cincinnati group form the core, the more recent formations resting On these, and dipping away on either side.

Excerpt: ...sandy texture, and of a rust color from the presence of iron, and, withal, a hard stone, here show themselves. The fossils common to the Clinton in the vicin ity of Piqua, are here abundantly seen--Hal3/sites catenulata, Simmetopora, Asyringipora, and some species of Farosites. These were exposed on the surface. No fossil shells were to be seen. Fragments of crinoid stems seemed to compose a considerable portion of the rock, and several species of Fenestella abounded. This formation has never been quarried here, apparently, for any economical purpose. 'It is in the neighborhood of an excellent limestone belonging higher up, and which furnishes ' lime of the first quality. The Clinton formation furnishes no good building stone in this part of the State, and, while it makes the strongest kind of lime, it is hard to burn, and heats greatly in slacking, and sets rapidly when mixed. It is highly esteemed in paper-mills, where a strong lime is desired, as it more readily softens the material used in the manufacture of paper. The next formation ascending, 'is that known as the Niagara. It is not seen here in actual contact with the preceding, as the exposure is not continuous; but within about a mile of the river, an out-crop of stone is observed on and near the banks of the river. A casual examination shows that a great change has taken place in the character of the stone. We have not only passed to a new formation, but into the upper strata of it. The stone is neither well stratified nor compact, and not suitable for building purposes. It is porous, comparatively soft, and very fossiliferous, and of a light blue color. It is burned here into an excellent lime, known locally as the Pontiac lime. The strata of the Niagara, so much prized for...

This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 768 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Geological Survey of Ohio, 1873, Vol. 2 It will be seen that the above list includes some of the richest and most populous agricultural and mining counties in the State, and it would be a great injustice to their inhabitants if, after paying their portion of the general expenses of the Survey and for the publication of reports on other portions of the State, they were denied their share of the benefits of the Survey. The matter for the third volume has been, to a considerable extent, prepared since the appropriations for the salaries of the Geological Corps were discontinued; much of it is, therefore, a gratuitous contribution, with which the Corps should be credited when a comparison is made between the value of their services and the compensation they have received. Some of the maps and other illustrations of this volume are already engraved, so that the cost of its publication will be something less than that of either of its predecessors; in other words, from seventy-five cents to one dollar a copy, according to the Size of the edition published.
