Summary[edit]

Description

Eastern Ohio's Cuyahoga Formation is a Lower Mississippian marine unit composed of mixed siliciclastics - shales, siltstones, and sandstones. Fine-grained and coarse-grained intervals are often designated as separate members. The gray sandstone shown here has been assigned to the Fairfield Member. This outcrop occurs unconformably just below the Black Hand Sandstone.
