Built in 1972, this structure serves the 1st District of Jasper County. It is located in one of the state's smallest county seats.
The other Jasper County seat is Bay Springs.
Paulding is a tiny village that once had a much larger population but has seen much decline ever since the Reconstruction Era. It is today Mississippi's only unincorporated county seats.

Fluorite and calcite from Ohio, USA.
A mineral is a naturally-occurring, solid, inorganic, crystalline substance having a fairly definite chemical composition and having fairly definite physical properties. At its simplest, a mineral is a naturally-occurring solid chemical. Currently, there are about 5400 named and described minerals - about 200 of them are common and about 20 of them are very common. Mineral classification is based on anion chemistry. Major categories of minerals are: elements, sulfides, oxides, halides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, and silicates.
The halides are the "salt minerals", and have one or more of the following anions: Cl-, F-, I-, Br-.
Fluorite is a calcium fluoride mineral (CaF2). The most diagnostic physical property of fluorite is its hardness (H≡4). Fluorite typically forms cubic crystals and, when broken, displays four cleavage planes (also quite diagnostic). When broken under controlled conditions, the broken pieces of fluorite form double pyramids. Fluorite is a good example of a mineral that can be any color. Common fluorite colors include clear, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, and brown. The stereotypical color for fluorite is purple. Purple is the color fluorite "should be". A mineral collector doesn't have fluorite unless it's a purple fluorite (!).
Fluorite occurs in association with some active volcanoes. HF emitted from volcanoes can react with Ca-bearing rocks to form fluorite crystals. Many hydrothermal veins contain fluorite. Much fluorite occurs in the vicinity of southern Illinois (Mississippi Valley-type deposits).

The Paulding County Courthouse is a historic governmental building in downtown Paulding, Ohio, United States. A Richardsonian Romanesque building erected in 1886, it is the third courthouse to serve the residents of Paulding County.
When Paulding County was established in 1820, the small community of Charloe was named the county seat. This arrangement proved to be short-lived: the older community of Paulding grew significantly while Charloe stagnated, and the county seat was eventually moved to the larger village. Once Paulding had been named the county seat, the county's second courthouse was erected on the village's central square in 1837. After approximately fifty years of service, this frame structure was demolished, and the present structure was built on the same location in 1886.
Designed by the E.O. Fallis Company and built by workers under the direction of general contractor Rudolph Ehrhart,[1] the courthouse is a brick structure with a stone foundation and a roof of asphalt. Two-and-one-half stories tall with a central tower, the courthouse features nearly identical entrances on each of its four sides. Measuring 163 feet tall at the tip of its domed tower, the courthouse was patterned after the Lenawee County Courthouse in Michigan, which was also designed by the Fallis architects.

Phacops rana crassituberculata Stumm, 1953 - fossil trilobites from the Devonian of Ohio, USA. (Dave Mielke collection; temporary public display, Ohio Geological Survey, Columbus, Ohio, USA)
This fossil is also known as Eldredgeops rana crassituberculata.
Trilobites are extinct marine arthropods. They first appear in Lower Cambrian rocks and the entire group went extinct at the end of the Permian. Trilobites had a calcitic exoskeleton and nonmineralizing parts underneath (legs, gills, gut, etc.). The calcite skeleton is most commonly preserved in the fossil record, although soft-part preservation is known in some trilobites (Ex: Burgess Shale and Hunsruck Slate). Trilobites had a head (cephalon), a body of many segments (thorax), and a tail (pygidium). Molts and carcasses usually fell apart quickly - most trilobite fossils are isolated parts of the head (cranidium and free cheeks), individual thoracic segments, or isolated pygidia. The name "trilobite" was introduced in 1771 by Johann Ernst Immanuel Walch and refers to the tripartite division of the trilobite body - it has a central axial lobe that runs longitudinally from the head to the tail, plus two side lobes (pleural lobes).
Seen here are famous trilobites whose remains are relatively common in the Middle Devonian-aged Silica Formation of northeastern Ohio. These are Phacops rana crassituberculata (also known as Eldredgeops, an unnecessary genus name based on taxonomic oversplitting). Phacops trilobite fossils occur with other typical Middle Paleozoic shallow marine invertebrates: brachiopods, bryozoans, crinoids, and corals.

Chillicothe, Ohio is a charming small town located in the south of the state, between Columbus and Portsmouth on the Scioto River. It has served as the seat of Ross County since the late 18th century, was the capital of the Northwest Territory (1800-03), and was Ohio's first and third state capital (1803-10 and 1812-16).
An 1886 building, similar in appearance to the Lenawee County Courthouse in Adrian, Michigan. Edward Fallis, a native of Toledo, designed both structures.
Paulding is, by all accounts, Ohio's most topographically featureless county, and it remained sparsely populated until the final decades of the nineteenth century. Between 1880 and 1890, its population nearly doubled, from 13,485 to 25,932.

From exhibit signage:
Arthrodires were a type of placoderm, early jawed fishes that became extinct before the end of the Devonian Period. The head and thoracic area of arthrodires and other placoderms were covered with a mineralized armor, while the rest of the body was naked or covered with scales. Some arthrodires grew quite large, like Dunkleosteus, which probably exceeded six meters in length and was the terror of Devonian seas.

Rock gypsum from the Devonian of Ohio, USA.
Sedimentary rocks form by the solidification of loose sediments. Loose sediments become hard rocks by the processes of deposition, burial, compaction, dewatering, and cementation.
There are three categories of sedimentary rocks:
1) Siliciclastic sedimentary rocks form by the solidification of sediments produced by weathering & erosion of any previously existing rocks.
2) Biogenic sedimentary rocks form by the solidification of sediments that were once-living organisms (plants, animals, micro-organisms).
3) Chemical sedimentary rocks form by the solidification of sediments formed by inorganic chemical reactions. Most sedimentary rocks have a clastic texture, but some are crystalline.
Rock gypsum (also known as gyprock) is a chemical sedimentary rock. It is an example of an evaporite - it forms by the evaporation of water (usually seawater) and the precipitation of dissolved minerals. Rock salt & rock gypsum often occur together in evaporitic successions. Rock gypsum is composed of the mineral gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O - hydrous calcium sulfate). Heating of gypsum or rock gypsum drives off the water, leaving only calcium sulfate behind (the mineral anhydrite). Adding water to anhydrite results in the formation of gypsum again.
Rock gypsum, unlike rock salt, does not have a salty taste, and is softer (H = 2) - it can be scratched with a fingernail. Rock gypsum’s color is often a mottled whitish-light grayish-light brownish. It is usually microcrystalline and powdery looking (it’s much finer-grained than typical rock salt deposits). Rock gypsum superficially resembles chalk. Chalk is calcitic, and so will bubble in acid - rock gypsum does not bubble in acid. Rock gypsum samples vary from extremely friable to moderately solid.

"The agate body of this perfume bottle was carved to resemble honeycomb, while the gold and silver ornament depicting bees and honeysuckle flowers continues the theme. Originally, a conical yellow sapphire adorned the top of the lid. The report by the French ministry of commerce on Tiffany's display at the World's Columbian Exposition highlighted this bottle as a particularly fine and original example of the firm's oeuvre"

Circa 1900, Tiffany & Co., designed by Paulding Farnham (American, 1859-1927), with gems selected by George Frederick Kunz (American, 1856-1932)
The Iris Corsage represents the combination of art, science, and national pride that characterized World's Fairs. A pamphlet by Tiffany explained how the piece showcases the mineral wealth of the United States: the 120 sapphires are from Montana. Other innovative materials have been skillfully employed to mimic the appearance of a bearded iris: green gold is used for the stem, and blued steel complements the sapphires that form the petals.
