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).
Locality: Auglaize Quarry, southeast of the town of Junction, northeastern Paulding County, northwestern Ohio, USA

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.
The Fannin-Cooper Farm in Paulding County was honored as a 2013 Georgia Centennial Farm because it was farmed by multiple families for more than 100 years and because it is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The farm has been operated continuously since 1858 by the Fannin and Cooper families and is owned by Anthony A. Cooper, Jr. The Fannins raised corn and cotton, as well as cattle and hogs. The 84-acre farmstead includes two houses, outbuildings, and farmland. Today the main crops are hay, timber and cattle.

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.
Classification: Animalia, Arthropoda, Trilobita, Polymerida, Phacopidae

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.

Photograph-"The Heritage of Paulding County Georgia, 1832-1999"
During the Great Depression the majority of children in small, farming families had to leave school to support their family. This is the Hiram School House where most of my family attended school. My great aunt and uncle were among the many children who had to quit going to school. My great uncle quit school when he was in second grade. He stayed home and helped his father with the cotton gin that his family ran. Having my great uncle work at the gin helped his family out greatly. During this time, the families needed all of the help that they could get in terms of having enough money to buy the essentials. Because my great uncle worked at the gin, he gave his parents one more source of income that helped them keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. My great aunt did not leave school until she was in the sixth grade. After she left school, her mother went to work. They needed my great aunt to leave school so she could take care of the household while her mother was out working. She took care of the cooking, cleaning, laundry, etc. Because most children were not able to finish school it was kind of difficult for them in the future. But despite the later difficulties these children, even at very young ages, put their families first and learned a great deal of responsibility.

Corocrinus nodosus Kier, 1952 - fossil crinoid from the Devonian of Ohio, USA. (Dave Mielke collection; temporary public display, Ohio Geological Survey, Columbus, Ohio, USA)
Crinoids (sea lilies) are sessile, benthic, filter-feeding, stalked echinoderms that are relatively common in the marine fossil record. Crinoids are also a living group, but are relatively uncommon in modern oceans. A crinoid is essentially a starfish-on-a-stick. The stick, or stem, is composed of numerous stacked columnals, like small poker chips. Stems and individual columnals are the most commonly encountered crinoid fossils in the field. Intact, fossilized crinoid heads (crowns, calices, cups) are unusual. Why? Upon death, the crinoid body starts disintegrating very rapidly. The soft tissues holding the skeletal pieces together decay and the skeleton falls apart.

Petroleum in a Hexagonaria 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 Hexagonaria, a colonial rugose coral having many hexagonally-shaped corallites, as seen in plan view - this is a cross-section view.
The black areas are petroleum. Hydrocarbons have migrated into fractures and other porous areas of the coral. This specimen is in a quarry in northwestern Ohio, which had a significant petroleum system that was heavily exploited in the late 1800s. Ohio used to be the # 1 petroleum exporter in the world!

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 lower 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.
