Limestones and dolostones in the Devonian of Ohio, USA.
This is the active wall at a functioning 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.
The gray-colored rocks in the top third of the wall are 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 in the middle and lower walls are the Lucas Dolomite of the upper Detroit River Group. The Lucas appears to consist of 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.

Locality: Auglaize Quarry (= Shelly Company, Stoneco's Auglaize Facility), southeast of the town of Junction, northeastern Paulding County, northwestern Ohio, USA (41° 10' 27.83" North latitude, 84° 25' 19.75" West longitude)
This is the Paulding Quarry in far-northwestern Ohio. The quarry opened in 1949 and the rocks are used to make cement on-site. The target unit is the Middle Devonian Dundee Limestone.
The upper part of the quarry wall seen here consists of interbedded fossiliferous limestones and shales of the Middle Devonian Silica Formation. The fossils are typical mid-Paleozoic marine invertebrates such as brachiopods, bryozoans, corals, crinoids, and trilobites. Below the Silica is the Dundee Limestone, which lacks interbedded shales.
Locality: Paulding Quarry (= Lafarge Paulding Quarry), north-northwest of the town of Paulding, northern Paulding County, northwestern Ohio, USA (41° 10' 57.96" North latitude, 84° 37' 21.23" West longitude)
Fossil coral & brachiopod & trilobite in the Devonian of Ohio, USA.
At top is a coral fossil. Corals are essentially sea anemones (polyps) that make a skeleton, which is usually mineralized. Most corals are colonial, but some are solitary. This is a solitary rugose coral, also known as a "horn coral", in reference to the tapered solid skeleton (best seen on weathered-out specimens).
At left is a spiriferid brachiopod fossil. Brachiopods are sessile, benthic, filter-feeding, marine invertebrates. They first appear in Cambrian rocks and were abundant in Earth's oceans throughout the Paleozoic. They were also common in Mesozoic oceans, but are scarce in modern oceanic biotas. Brachiopods have two shells, called valves, that are usually calcareous (made of calcite - CaCO3 - calcium carbonate). Each shell of a brachiopod is bilaterally symmetrical, unlike each shell of a bivalve (clam).
At right is a trilobite tail, technically called a pygidium. It is from a Phacops trilobite (also referred to by the subjective junior synonym Eldredgeops). Trilobites are extinct marine arthropods that range in age from the Cambrian to the Permian. They had a calcitic exoskeleton with soft parts underneath (gills, legs, guts, etc.). From front to back, the trilobite body consists of a head (cephalon), a body of many segments (thorax), and a tail (pygidium). The exoskeleton is also divided into three parts longitudinally, with an axial lobe running down the middle, and two pleural lobes (side lobes).

This flower, when fully open, is approximately 1.5 to 2.0cm diameter (maximum). Several unopened buds also in photo.
Wild blueberry flowers (Vaccinium sp., possibly V. fuscatum). Unlike Elliott's Blueberry, which I have been finding on sandy creek bottoms, this bush was in a upland location. Furthermore, the stems are not green. Pickett's Mill State Historic Site, Paulding County, Georgia.

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.
This is the Paulding Quarry in far-northwestern Ohio. The quarry opened in 1949 and the rocks are used to make cement on-site. The target unit is the Middle Devonian Dundee Limestone (not visible in this picture). Overlying the Dundee at this locality is the Silica Formation (also Middle Devonian), which consists of richly fossiliferous interbedded limestones and shales. The fossils are typical mid-Paleozoic marine invertebrates such as brachiopods, bryozoans, corals, crinoids, and trilobites.

South Haven, Michigan is located on the shores of Lake Michigan in the southwest of the Lower Peninsula in northwestern Van Buren County.
This is the Paulding Quarry in far-northwestern Ohio. The quarry opened in 1949 and the rocks are used to make cement on-site. The target unit is the Middle Devonian Dundee Limestone.
The blast rubble seen here is principally derived from the Silica Formation, which overlies the Dundee Limestone. The Silica Formation is also Middle Devonian and consists of richly fossiliferous interbedded limestones and shales. The fossils are typical mid-Paleozoic marine invertebrates such as brachiopods, bryozoans, corals, crinoids, and trilobites.

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.
