| Description |
The Maxville Limestone is the only Middle to Late Mississippian-aged stratigraphic unit in Ohio. Its outcrop belt is not extensive - it principally occurs in Muskingum County and Perry County in eastern and southeastern Ohio. The Maxville Formation can also be found as cobbles and pebbles in the basal Sharon Formation (Lower Pennsylvanian), which disconformably overlies Ohio's Mississippian rocks. Paleohills, or erosional outliers, of Maxville Limestone have also been identified. Shown here is an inactive, partially water-filled quarry called the "Dupler Pit" in Muskingum County, Ohio. The quarry targeted the Maxville Limestone and crushed it for various uses (modern uses include road gravel, fill, rip-rap, and erosion-control blocks). Active quarrying still takes place across the road at the East Fultonham Pit. Both sites are owned by Shelly Materials, Incorporated. Quarrying occurred here in the 1940s. It is now used as a tailings pond for "fines" from current quarrying activity and rock processing. The rocks in the walls above water level are part of the Early to Middle Pennsylvanian-aged Pottsville Group, a succession of mixed siliciclastics, coal, chert/flint, and limestone. The Pottsville overlies the Maxville LImestone, which is no longer visible at this site (= below water).
