| Description |
The Lower Mercer Limestone is a Middle Pennsylvanian-aged, laterally persistent, marine fossiliferous limestone unit in the Pottsville Group of eastern Ohio, USA. It is richly fossiliferous, principally dominated by brachiopods and crinoid stems. In this photo, the dark, slightly wavy structures in the limestone are fossil calcareous phylloidal algae. If they are in living position, the fine-grained calcareous sediments (= micrite) between individual algal chips may have been deposited due to water velocity slowing over the upright algae. Limestones with such textures are called bafflestones. Stratigraphy: Lower Mercer Limestone, Pottsville Group, lower Atokan Stage, lower Middle Pennsylvanian Locality: roadcut along the northern side Rt. 16, southern margin of Irish Ridge, west of the Rt. 16-Rt. 60 intersection, northwest of the town of Trinway, northwestern Muskingum County, eastern Ohio, USA (40° 09’ 12.95” North latitude, 82° 02’ 43.27” West longitude) |
