Shoots The Ohio State University 1985 Approved by : A visor Department of Geology and Mineralogy CONTENTS ~ Introduction 1 The Precambrian Surface 3 The Cambrian Period 8 Ordovician and the Tippecanoe Sequence 12 The Lower Silurian and the Grimsqy Sandstone 14 Middle and Upper Silurian 19 Devonian Carbonates and Shales 22 Lower Mississippian Outcrop 26 Summary and Conclusions 28 Bibliography 29 INTRODUCTION Ashtabula County, Ohio is located in the very northeastern corner of the state (fig. 1). Its geographical boundaries include: Lake Erie to the north; Crawford and Erie Counties, Pennsylvania to the east; Trumbull County, Ohio to the south; and Geauga and Lake Counties to the west. All these surrounding areas were helpful in correlating well data to make inferences to trends that underlie Ashtabula County. The study area is located on the northwestern flank of the Appala­ chian Basin. This basin is an elongate structural trough trending northeast-southwest. It stretches from New York to Alabama. Cambrian seas deposited large sections of carbonates in a depression that developed on the Precambrian surface (ref. 9, p. 17). The Taconic orogeny of Late Ordovician time filled the basin with large quantities of clastic mater­ ial from the east and southeast. Again, in Middle Devonian time, new uplift, accompanying the Acadian Orogeny, deposited masses of marine and terrestrial materials in the same subsiding basin. A continuing orogeny, throughout the late Paleozoic, culminated in the Appalachian orogeny which occurred near the close of the Paleozoic (ref.

  • B-57 Geology and Mineral Resources of the Dalton Quadrangle, Georgia-Tennessee
    GEORGIA STATE DIVISION OF CONSERVATION DEPARTMENT OF MINES, MINING AND GEOLOGY GARLAND PEYTON, Director THE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY Bulletin Number 57 GEOLOGY AND MINERAL RESOURCES OF THE DALTON QUADRANGLE, GEORGIA-TENNESSEE By Arthur C. Munyan ATLANTA 1951 Looking east toward the Cohutta Mountain front. LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL Department of Mines, Mining and Geology Atlanta, July 16, 1951 To His Excellency, Herman Talmadge, Governor Commissioner Ex-Officio, State Division of Conservation Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith Georgia Geological Survey Bulletin No. 57, "Geology and Mineral Resources of the Dalton, Quadrangle, Georgia-Tennessee." This investi­ gation was undertaken by Arthur C. Munyan as a dissertation problem for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Univer­ sity of Cincinnati. It is desired to point out that this report r ~presents one example among many of cooperation between the Georgia Geological Survey and the universities. The productivity of our small permanent staff is appreciably expanded by sponsoring geologic research projects of this type, conducted by outstanding graduate students. This bulletin, prepared at little expense to the State, is a detailed report upon a part of the Paleozoic area of North­ west Georgia, and reviews the stratigraphic, structural and economic geology of that part of the State. Particular refer­ ence is made to the mineral resources of the area which include barite, clay, limestones and dolomites, manganese and iron, and tripoli. It is believed that this report will have transfer value
