A walk over the property turned up layers of promising dolostone that was loaded with pockets in several areas and a generous scattering of hand-dug pits of various ages. |
The canyon system cuts down through marine sandstone, siltstone and dolostone. |
This outcrop was mapped as Upper Devonian Ohio Shale by Reidel and lies stratigraphically above a Middle Silurian dolostone. |
Matrix minerals of the dolostone septaria are ferroan dolomite, quartz, calcite, and pyrite. |
They sometimes are found together with dolostone concretions, barite nodules, or phosphatic nodules. |
A lens-like conglomerate interbed, with flat pebbles of the underlying dolostone, occurs on the 3a and 3b boundary. |
