Summary
| Description |
Limestones in the Mississippian of Ohio, USA. The Maxville Limestone is the only Middle to Late Mississippian-aged stratigraphic unit in Ohio. Its outcrop belt is not extensive - it principally occurs in Muskingum County and Perry County in eastern and southeastern Ohio. The Maxville Formation can also be found as cobbles and pebbles in the basal Sharon Formation (Lower Pennsylvanian), which disconformably overlies Ohio's Mississippian rocks. Paleohills, or erosional outliers, of Maxville Limestone have also been identified. The limestone rubble shown is eroded from a natural streamcut in Muskingum County, Ohio that has thick- and thin-bedded Maxville Limestone. The rocks here are principally micritic limestones that are sparsely fossiliferous (decent fossil-bearing horizons do occur in the upper Maxville Limestone). A few productid brachiopods were observed at this site. Stratigraphy: Maxville Limestone, Meramecian Series to Chesterian Series, Middle to Upper Mississippian Locality: outcrop on the southern side of Jonathan Run, a little upstream from Workman Road bridge, north-northwest of the town of Fultonham, southwestern Muskingum County, eastern Ohio, USA |
