Phacops rana crassituberculata Stumm, 1953 - fossil trilobite 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 is a famous trilobite whose remains are relatively common in the Middle Devonian-aged Silica Formation of northeastern Ohio. This is 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.

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.

Hippocardia cunea (Conrad, 1840) - fossil rostroconch from the Devonian of Ohio, USA. (Dave Mielke collection; temporary public display, Ohio Geological Survey, Columbus, Ohio, USA)
This species is also known as Hoareicardia cunea.
Rostroconchs are an extinct class of molluscs. They are restricted to the Paleozoic - they first appear in Lower Cambrian rocks and go extinct in the Upper Permian. Rostroconchs somewhat resemble bivalves (= clams & relatives), but they are actually pseudobivalved. They have a continuous, univalved, calcareous shell roughly shaped like a taco. As the organism grows, it breaks the shell along a "hinge line" and recements the shell together. This can be seen as tiny breaks and cracks that have been resealed. True bivalves have two separate calcareous shells held together by organic material. Bivalves can readily open and shut their shells.
Rostroconchs had an inferred semi-infaunal lifestyle and, as a group, were likely deposit feeders or filter feeders or both. They had a permanent anterior gape (open space between the edges of the "two" shells and a posterior rostrum (= tubular extension of the shell). Some rostroconchs had a hood - an extension of shell material around the rostrum. The soft-part anatomy was probably clam-like. They had their greatest diversity during the Early Ordovician.

The Paulding Mystery Light is a purportedly unexplained optical phenomenon, occurring nightly, deep in the woods of Michigans Upper Peninsula. Each evening up to a hundred spectators gather at the end of a washed out road to observe the flickering light. In local legends, the origin of the light is often attributed to the paranormal. As a student-run research project The Michigan Tech Student Chapter of the SPIE initiated a project in 2008 to understand the cause of the Paulding Lights. A team was formed pairing graduate and undergraduate researchers and under guidance from faculty. Previous investigations by paranormal skeptics attributed the lights to automobile headlights though the exact source location was not identified. These investigators also failed to address claims that the light appeared to move or dance along the horizon. Our team applied a number of techniques toward identifying and then verifying the source location of the Paulding Light. Beginning with observation through a telescope, the team moved to using tools such as detailed topographical maps and more common tools such as Google Street View to identify a candidate source location. The candidate source location was then validated by first, recreating the light using a stopped vehicle. Additional verification was achieved by recording the traffic flow at the source location and examining the correlations both heuristically and stochastically. A spectrometer was also brought to bear on the light allowing the team to compare the spectrum of the Paulding light to the spectrum of various automotive headlamps. Our findings, presented here, indicate that the source of the Paulding light is automobile traffic on a stretch of road about 7 km from the viewing location. This conclusion is supported overwhelming by the data we have collected. In addition to our findings, we also provide some speculation on the cause of the more spectacular claims surrounding these mystery lights and possibilities for future work.
Favositid fossil coral in the Devonian of Ohio, USA.
Corals are essentially sea anemones (polyps) that make a skeleton, which is usually mineralized. Most corals are colonial, but some are solitary. This particular fossil is a favositid, or "honeycomb coral", an extinct group of tabulate corals.

The structure seems to have been designed as a brooder house for incubating and raising young chicks. While brooder houses come in various shapes, they share certain key features. To keep hatchlings and young chicks warm, the building is placed in an open area with south-facing windows. It has a shed roof, which allows for larger coops without significantly increasing air space. Ventilators or flues extend from the structure to provide a proper ventilation and air exchange system.

Mediospirifer? fossil brachiopod with encrusting Aulopora corals from the Devonian of Ohio, USA. (Dave Mielke collection; temporary public display, Ohio Geological Survey, Columbus, Ohio, USA)
Auloporids are a group of extinct tabulate corals. They consist of calcareous colonies of hard substrate-encrusting, trumpet-shaped corallites. They first appear in the Ordovician and go extinct in the Permian. The auloporids seen here are encrusting a spiriferid brachiopod from Ohio's famous Silica Formation, a richly fossiliferous unit.
Click on the photo to zoom in and look around. The small, subtle, squiggly, vine-like structures near the right side of the fossil are a problematic fossil known as Hederella, which was also a hard-substrate encruster. Hederella was once considered to be a type of bryozoan, or "moss animal", similar to the cyclostomes Corynotrypa and Cuffeyella (those genera occur in the Ordovician-aged Cincinnatian Series of the Ohio-Indiana-Kentucky tristate area). Recent studies have indicated that Hederella is not a bryozoan at all, but is, or is closely related to, the phoronids, a group of lophophorates.

Fluorite from Ohio, USA. (Joseph Vasichko collection)
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 also occurs in the southern Illinois area (Mississippi Valley-type deposits).
Geologic context: vug-filling fluorite crystals in carbonate rock (found in September 2016) of the Detroit River Group or Dundee Limestone (Lower to Middle Devonian)

This bland, flagging strip mall was the site of the John I. Paulding Company in New Bedford, up until 1986 or so. I worked summers at Paulding after high school, and was offered a job there when I graduated college in 1980. I turned it down.
Where the stores on the left are was a big sprawling factory, with a couple of machine shops, a welding shop, a huge industrial pottery, a room full of screw machines, a room for electroplating, injection molding machines for plastic, and a big assembly floor.
Part of it dated back to colonial times. A machine shop on the first floor and the engineering lab on the second floor shared a part of the facility made from fieldstones. It had a tower with rifle slots instead of windows that the company used for storage, since protecting stagecoach horses while they rested en route to Boston was no longer necessary by then.
Way down in the back off to the right in this picture was the area we dumped the porcelain scrap. Making porcelain parts is a comparatively low yield operation. The broken pieces coming out of the kilns would end up in the back of an ancient dump truck, and ultimately dumped in the woods when the dump truck was full. Eventually, the large white mound of broken ceramic was clearly visible from Route 140 nearby. I bet if you looked around there, you could still find porcelain bits in the dirt.
Production was moved away from the unionized factory in New Bedford, and I think ultimately the whole company failed. I don't think there is anything with the Paulding name made anywhere now on the market.
The Fieldstone Marketplace itself is looking pretty tired now, with lots of empty stores.

When they built this very big Ingle's grocery complex in Paulding County, GA around 2008, they almost dug into an old cemetery with graves of Confederate soldiers. Here's one that seems now to be in an odd place, indeed. It made me so sad to see these graves forgotten like that. Shameful but I am grateful it was not plowed over in construction at least.

On Saturday, September 23, 2017 the Old Van Cortlandtville Cemetery Association held a Plaque Dedication to unveil a new marker for the John Paulding gravesite. I was honored to be a part of the ceremony and also to secure the funds needed to create the plaque. Knowing of my interest and involvement in promoting history and being a Revolutionary War Reenactor for over 40 years, members of the association approached me hoping I would help in the creation of the plaque. I was glad to have the opportunity to have a hand in the initiative to create the plaque and was able to obtain the funding required to have the plaque created and installed.
The act of John Paulding and his comrades Isaac Van Wart and David Williams capturing British spy Major John Andre was a turning point in our nation’s history. In recent years, the story has a renewed interest due the background setting of West Point, George Washington, Benedict Arnold and especially the new details regarding the spy ring involved in the war. A number of books and even a television series has appeared in just the last few years giving renewed interest in the story.
John Paulding, the lead figure in the capture of Andre, is buried in the Old Van Cortlandt Cemetery just yards from the historic Revolutionary War Era Old St. Peter’s Church. He died in 1818 at the age of 60 and was honored with a prominent site and stone/obelisk structure. Over time, the words engraved into the marble monument have faded and it is just a matter of time until they are lost forever. The new plague that was installed replicates the engraved words exactly so as to preserve them for generations to come.

Money was a hard thing to come by for the farming families in the rural south during the Great Depression. Because of the depression there was inflation. This is the increase in the value and worth of something. Because of this people bought less so there was a decrease in the need of employers. This was a big problem because it led to the cut back of employers and production. Before the depression hit people would put their money in a savings account in the bank. When the reality of the Great Depression was sinking in, most people ran to the banks as fast as they could to withdraw this money in hopes of surviving this difficult time. Because the banks had also invested in the stock market they had lost a significant amount of money as well. They were able to pay out few peoples savings to them, but they had nowhere near the amount of money in the bank to give everyone the amount of money they had put in their account. By the end of the depression a lot of banks were near collapse and there was a great deal of banks that had closed and lost the savings of millions of people.
