The Spirit Of South Paulding, Georgia, USA.

From a collection of photographs taken at the 29th London New Year's Day Parade 2015 (LNYDP 2015). We were standing on opposite sides of the road in Piccadilly near the junction with Regent Street. The parade featured bands and participants from all over the world, along with representatives from London Boroughs whose theme was "London on the Move". See www.lnydp.com for more information.

 

Here is one more from the waterfall I came across last week in Paulding County. This is basically the view as you come down the path to the final approach to the fall area. I really can't wait to see this place in a few weeks when everything starts to bloom and some greenery starts making it's way in.

 

I stacked a 8x ND with a polarizer on this and the other shots from High Shoals Falls. shot comprised of 3 exposures blended using Photomatix 4.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Lustrous blackish-yellowish-reddish masses at center = sphalerite (ZnS)

 

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 over 6100 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 sulfide minerals contain one or more sulfide anions (S-2). The sulfides are usually considered together with the arsenide minerals, the sulfarsenide minerals, and the telluride minerals. Many sulfides are economically significant, as they occur commonly in ores. The metals that combine with S-2 are mainly Fe, Cu, Ni, Ag, etc. Most sulfides have a metallic luster, are moderately soft, and are noticeably heavy for their size. These minerals will not form in the presence of free oxygen. Under an oxygen-rich atmosphere, sulfide minerals tend to chemically weather to various oxide and hydroxide minerals.

 

Sphalerite is a somewhat common zinc sulfide mineral (ZnS). It has a metallic to submetallic to resinous to adamantine luster. Many metals can substitute for the zinc, such as iron, cadmium, and manganese. Sphalerite almost always has some iron in it, so a better chemical formula would be (Zn,Fe)S. Sphalerite has a wide color range, depending principally on iron content. Pure to almost pure sphalerite is whitish to greenish. With increasing iron content, sphalerite becomes yellowish to brownish to blackish. One variety of sphalerite has a strikingly intense dark red color (ruby sphalerite). Its streak color also varies with iron content from whitish to pale yellowish to brownish. Sphalerite is also distinctive in being moderately heavy for its size and having six different planes of cleavage.

 

Sphalerite is the most important zinc ore mineral. Zinc produced from sphalerite is used for many purposes, including mixing with copper to produce brass, rust protection of iron & steel, and for making modern American pennies.

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!
