Stylolite in limestone in the Devonian of Ohio, USA. (cross-section view)
The structure seen here is a stylolite, a pressure dissolution feature that frequently has the appearance of a hospital EKG reading. These occur in many limestones, dolostones, and some marbles, especially in or near orogenic belts. The host rock here is limestone, a biogenic sedimentary rock composed of calcite (CaCO3 - calcium carbonate). Most limestones formed in ancient, warm, shallow ocean environments.
Stratigraphy: loose piece, probably derived from the 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)

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.
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!

Euryzone arata (Hall, 1862) - fossil snail in limestone in the Devonian of Ohio, USA
The gastropods (snails & slugs) are a group of molluscs that occupy marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments. Most have a calcareous external shell (the snails). Some lack a shell completely, or have reduced internal shells (the slugs & sea slugs & pteropods). Most members of the Gastropoda are marine. Most marine snails are herbivores (algae grazers) or predators/carnivores.

Petroleum in a 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 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!

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.

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 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).
Seen here is vug-filling purple fluorite in Devonian carbonate rock at a quarry in northwestern Ohio. Other vug-filling minerals at this site include calcite and sphalerite.

Limestones and dolostones in the Devonian of Ohio, USA.
This is an active quarry in far-northwestern Ohio. We were forbidden from closely approaching the walls. Large, loose blocks of rock were piled on the quarry floor for close examination and mineral collecting.
Many of the gray-colored rocks are from the the Dundee Limestone, a Middle Devonian unit equivalent to the upper Columbus Limestone and Delaware Limestone elsewhere in Ohio. At this site, the Dundee is principally light gray to gray-brown micrite and dismicrite. These lithologies are sometimes referred to as lithographic limestone and sublithographic limestone. Stylolites are present, as are numerous patches of coarsely-crystalline calcite.
The brownish-colored rocks are from the Lucas Dolomite of the upper Detroit River Group. The Lucas appears to consist of both dolostone and limestone. Finely-laminated, brown dolostone is a common lithology in this unit. Lack of stratigraphic control in the loose quarry blocks makes specific lithologic assessments difficult. Stylolites are also present in the Lucas.

The 1917 History of Maumee Valley provides a brief description:
The first white settler in [Paulding County] was Shadrach Hudson, who arrived in the year 1819. He came from Miami County and built a log house on the right bank of the Auglaize River, about half a mile east of the present Village of Junction. It was in the usual style, being constructed of square logs, was two stories in height, and had a huge fire-place in one end. . . . It commanded a splendid view both up and down the river. He had also served in the American army during the War of 1812, and was so impressed with the fertility and natural beauty of this site that he decided to make it his home.
That Hudson found the site beautiful is surprising; Paulding County, in 1819, existed at the heart of Ohio's Great Black Swamp, a region whose land settlers considered nearly worthless.

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.
Located in Memorial Park off of E. 3rd Street N., this statue is titled American Doughboy. It was designed by sculptor John Paulding, and it represents the WWI veterans of Rusk County, Wisconsin.
