Va. 0 25 50 Scale in Miles V INTRODUCTION Twenty years have elapsed since the first "Ohio Intercollegiate Field Trip" was organized and conducted in northeastern Ohio by the Kent State Geological Society. This school year(1969-1970) the K.S.G.S. volun- teered to sponsor the 20th Annual Ohio Intercollegiate Field Trip and it was thought appropriate topublish a single collection of all previous guides.This volume commemorates these twenty years and honors all contributors and participants who made this annual field conference a worth while project. Although it is recognized that highways, rock exposures and indeed geologic interpretation may change with time, each guide is presented herein as it was originally written. Only minor corrections have been made. In spite of errors or differences of opinion, it should be remembered that each guide was prepared and each trip was conducted by undergraduate students. The experience they gained in this endeavor and their sense of satisfaction in conducting a field trip for fellow students and geologists of the state is the true measure of the value of this annual event. The Second Intercollegiate Field Trip did not materialize because of a conflict with the Ohio Academy of Science field trip in 1952. The Tenth field guide is not included because it is identical to the Sixteen field guide, both of which were conducted by Marietta College in the Appalachian region of West Virginia. There are four reasons for compilation of the past Ohio Intercollegiate Field Guides into a single volume. First, copies of the older guides are becoming increasingly more difficult to obtain so that simple preserva- tion was a consideration. Second, geology students find them very helpful when planning mineral and fossil collecting trips. Likewise the general public, particularly rock-hounds, often request information concerning local field trips and collecting localities. Third, and most important, the expansion of high school earth sci- ence in Ohio requires that all local geologic materialbe available to earth scienk ichers. This volume can be the starting point for a cursory survey of the local geologicliterature and it should provide a basis for planning local field trips by earth science teachers. Finally, all profits obtained by the sale of the vol- ume will be placed in the K.S.U. Foundation Geology Fund to aid in the continued development and expansion of the departmental programs. The editor would like to thank Dr. Rodney Feldmann and Mr. Arthur Wittine, both of Kent State, for their valuable assistance. vii e t: r'z' ". .1 .2trst'rt44: !Ls t AtA - F1-11 , FORWARD The following geologic resume of the Cuyahoga Gorge and Chippewa Creek sections, near Cuyahoga Falls and Brecksville, Ohio, respectively, is a project of the Kent State Geological Society.

  • Subsurface Facies Analysis of the Devonian Berea Sandstone in Southeastern Ohio
    SUBSURFACE FACIES ANALYSIS OF THE DEVONIAN BEREA SANDSTONE IN SOUTHEASTERN OHIO William T. Garnes A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE December 2014 Committee: James Evans, Advisor Jeffrey Snyder Charles Onasch ii ABSTRACT James Evans, Advisor The Devonian Berea Sandstone is an internally complex, heterogeneous unit that appears prominently both in outcrop and subsurface in Ohio. While the unit is clearly deltaic in outcrops in northeastern Ohio, its depositional setting is more problematic in southeastern Ohio where it is only found in the subsurface. The goal of this project was to search for evidence of a barrier island/inlet channel depositional environment for the Berea Sandstone to assess whether the Berea Sandstone was deposited under conditions in southeastern Ohio unique from northeastern Ohio. This project involved looking at cores from 5 wells: 3426 (Athens Co.), 3425 (Meigs Co.), 3253 (Athens Co.), 3252 (Athens Co.), and 3251 (Athens Co.) In cores, the Berea Sandstone ranges from 2 to 10 m (8-32 ft) thick, with an average thickness of 6.3 m (20.7 ft). Core descriptions involved hand specimens, thin section descriptions, and core photography. In addition to these 5 wells, the gamma ray logs from 13 wells were used to interpret the architecture and lithologies of the Berea Sandstone in Athens Co. and Meigs Co. as well as surrounding Vinton, Washington, and Morgan counties. Analysis from this study shows evidence of deltaic lobe progradation, abandonment, and re-working. Evidence of interdistributary bays with shallow sub-tidal environments, as well as large sand bodies, is also present.

  • Geoloaic District. Subsequent Stratigraphic Studies in This Area
    DEVONIAN STRATA AND PALEOENVIRONMENTS: CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY REGION: NEW YORK STATE GORDON C. BAIRD and GARY G. LASH Department of Geosciences State University of New York College at Fredonia Fredonia, New York 14063 INTRODUCTION The history of the study of the Paleozoic stratigraphic divisions in New York State spans, at least, two centuries, and it records the early development of important concepts centrally germane to the study of sedimentary basins worldwide (see Tesmer, 1989). The works of James Hall, John Clarke, HenryS. Williams, Joseph Barrell, and George Chadwick are well known to most sedimentary workers, as are those of numerous subsequent workers. In particular, the sedimentary sequences of the Allegheny Plateau Region (••southern Tier" region) served as important sources of information for refinement of the fac ies concept ar.d for the widespread recognition of the westwardly prograding Catskill Delta Complex which is the primary Paleozoic story recorded in Southern Tier bedrock deposits (see Chadwick, 1924, 1933; Cooper, et al., 1942; Caster, 1934; Woodrow, 1985). ---- The first significant geologic work relating to the Chautauqua County region was presented in James Hall's (1843) Survey of the Fourth Geoloaic District. Subsequent stratigraphic studies in this area inclu e Clarke (1903), Chadwick (1923, 1924), Caster (1934), Pepper and de Witt (1950, 1951) and de Witt and Colton (1953). In northwest Pennsylvania, significant synthetic contributions include I.C. White (1881), Butts (1906-1908), Chadwick (1925), Caster ·(1934), Pepper et al. (1954). In Ohio, deposits equivalent to parts of the New York and -­ Pennsylvania Upper Devonian section (Chagrin Shale) have been the subject of recent paleoenvironmental studies (see Weidner and Feldmann, 1983; Schwimmer and Feldmann, 1990).
