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!
Classification: Animalia, Cnidaria, Anthozoa, Rugosa, Phillipsastraeidae
Stratigraphy: Dundee Limestone, Middle Devonian
Locality: quarry northwest of the town of Paulding, northern Paulding County, northwestern Ohio, USA (41° 10' 52.55" North latitude, 84° 37' 19.32" West longitude)

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 5500 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.
Pyrite is a common iron sulfide mineral (FeS2). It’s nickname is “fool's gold”. Pyrite has a metallic luster, brassy gold color (in contrast to the deep rich yellow gold color of true gold - www.flickr.com/photos/jsjgeology/sets/72157651325153769/), dark gray to black streak, is hard (H=6 to 6.5), has no cleavage, and is moderately heavy for its size. It often forms cubic crystals or pyritohedrons (crystals having pentagonal faces).
Pyrite is common in many hydrothermal veins, shales, coals, various metamorphic rocks, and massive sulfide deposits.
Seen here is finely-crystalline pyrite coating a fracture in Devonian carbonate rock.

Stylolite from the Devonian of Ohio, USA. (cross-section view)
This dark crust at top is a stylolite, a pressure dissolution feature that frequently has the appearance of a hospital EKG reading in cross-section view (see elsewhere in this photo album). These occur in carbonate rocks (limestones, dolostones, marbles), especially in or near orogenic belts.
Stratigraphy: attributed to the Lucas Formation, Middle Devonian
Locality: undisclosed site in Paulding County (likely a quarry), northwestern Ohio, USA
Fossiliferous chert nodule in carbonate in the Devonian of Ohio, USA.
The brownish mass in the photo is a chert nodule representing partially silicified carbonate rock. This is an out-of-place quarry block of either limestone or dolostone. Within the chert nodule are two silicified solitary rugose corals ("horn corals").

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 (click on the photo to zoom in - the corallite shapes are a tad difficult to discern here).
The black areas are petroleum. Hydrocarbons have migrated into fractures and other porous areas of the coral. The black spots are corallite centers.

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.
American hero John Paulding died in 1818 at the age of 60. He was one of the three who captured British spy John André and uncovered the traitor Benedict Arnold and his plot to help West Point fall and George Washington be captured. Paulding is buried locally in the Old VanCortlandtville Cemetery off of Oregon Road and Locust Avenue in the Town of Cortlandt NY.
Last year the VanCortlandtville Historical Society and Old Cemetery Association held a commemoration of the 1780 capture by Paulding and unveiling of a new plaque containing the inscription on Paulding’s monument that has become faded and hard to read. On Sunday, September 23, 2018, they held another commemoration of the 200th Anniversary of Paulding’s death and to show the newly cleaned monument. Prior to the ceremony at the cemetery, there was an outstanding play, “Captor in Question,” performed by actors/educators Sean Grady and Gary Petagine, portraying Pauling and former Revolutionary War Intelligence Officer/Congressman Benjamin Tallmadge.
It was an honor to participate once again in honoring Paulding and helping to preserve his memory and American history.
A bas-relief depiction of John André's capture by John Paulding, Isaac Van Wart, and David Williams is situated on the pedestal of the Captor's Monument in Tarrytown, NY. The capture led to the discovery of the traitorous activites of Benedict Arnold, and the deed of the three militiamen was so well-received that three counties in Ohio are named in their honor.

Meanwhile, André, left to himself, struck into the road which led through Tarrytown, expecting to meet no worse enemies than Cowboys, who would either respect a British officer, or, if bent on plunder, might be satisfied by his money and watch. But it happened that morning that a party of seven young men had come out to intercept some Cowboys who were expected up the road; and about nine o’clock, as André was approaching the creek above Tarrytown, a short distance from the far-famed Sleepy Hollow, he was suddenly confronted by three of this party, who sprang from the bushes and, with levelled muskets, ordered him to halt. These men had let several persons, with whose faces they were familiar, pass unquestioned; and if Smith, who was known to almost every one in that neighbourhood, had been with André, they too would doubtless have been allowed to pass. André was stopped because he was a stranger. One of these men happened to have on the coat of a Hessian soldier. Held by the belief that they must be Cowboys, or members of what was sometimes euphemistically termed the “lower party,” André expressed a hope that such was the case; and on being assured that it was so, his caution deserted him, and, with that sudden sense of relief which is apt to come after unwonted and prolonged constraint, he avowed himself a British officer, travelling on business of great importance. To his dismay, he now learned his mistake. John Paulding, the man in the Hessian coat, informed him that they were Americans, and ordered him to dismount. When he now showed them Arnold’s pass they disregarded it, and insisted upon searching him, until presently the six papers were discovered where he had hidden them. “By God, he is a spy!” exclaimed Paulding, as he looked over the papers. Threats and promises were of no avail. The young men, who were not to be bought or cajoled, took their prisoner twelve miles up the river, and delivered him into the hands of Colonel John Jameson, a Virginian officer, who commanded a cavalry outpost at North Castle. When Jameson looked over the papers, they seemed to him very extraordinary documents to be travelling toward New York in the stockings of a stranger who could give no satisfactory account of himself. Colonel Jameson’s perplexityBut so far from his suspecting Arnold of any complicity in the matter, he could think of nothing better than to send the prisoner straightway to Arnold himself, together with a brief letter in which he related what had happened. To the honest Jameson it seemed that this must be some foul ruse of the enemy, some device for stirring up suspicion in the camp,—something, at any rate, which could not too quickly be brought to his general’s notice. But the documents themselves he prudently sent by an express-rider to Washington, accompanying them with a similar letter of explanation. André, in charge of a military guard, had already proceeded some distance toward West Point when Jameson’s second in command, Major Benjamin Tallmadge, came in from some errand on which he had been engaged. On hearing what had happened, Tallmadge suspected that all was not right with Arnold, and insisted that André and the letter should be recalled. After a hurried discussion, Jameson sent out a party which brought André back; but he still thought it his duty to inform Arnold, and so the letter which saved the traitor’s life was allowed to proceed on its way.
