A rockfall at the Lower Falls at Hocking Hills State Park, Hocking County, Ohio. Downstream from Old Man's Cave, Old Man's Creek encounters the resistant lowermost zone of the Black Hand Sandstone and cascades into a broad plunge pool as a scenic waterfall known as the Lower Falls. A large rock shelter is developed behind the waterfall. At the base of the rock shelter the contact between the Fairfield Shale and the Black Hand Sandstone Members of the Cuyahoga Formation can be seen. Bedrock is from the Mississippian Geologic Period. This photograph was taken by Michael C. Hansen on January 7, 1978.
Trails leading through the Lower Gorge come to Queer Creek and eventually to Cedar Falls at Hocking Hills State Park, Hocking County, Ohio. Cedar Falls is a semi-circular cliff over which Cedar Creek flows to form a waterfall, 50 feet in height. Behind the falls is a small recess cave formed by the sapping action of the plunge pool. The face of the waterfall is crossed by two deep grooves, formed by the abrasive action of small sand particles, through which the water flows. The rim of Cedar Falls is composed of the hard, massive upper layer of the Black Hand Sandstone. Two joint fractures are readily visible in the upper zone
An outcrop of the Black Hand Sandstone Member of the Cuyahoga Formation at the Conkle's Hollow State Nature Preserve area in Hocking Hills State Park, Hocking County, Ohio. Conkle's Hollow is a deep rocky gorge. All three zones of the Black Hand Sandstone are visible in the steep cliffs of the valley walls. Crossbedding and honeycomb weathering are well displayed on the fretted surface of the Black Hand. The gorge at Conkle's Hollow follows a major joint trending N 60� W. Conkle's Hollow is named for an early visitor who inscribed his name, W. J. Conkle 1797, on the west wall of the gorge. Bedrock is from the Mississippian Geologic Period. The photograph was taken in June 1973. The location is approximate to the...

An outcrop of the Black Hand Sandstone Member of the Cuyahoga Formation that forms Ash Cave at Hocking Hills State Park, Hocking County, Ohio. Ash Cave is the most impressive in size of the many rock shelter caves in the Hocking Hills State Park area. The reentrant is 100 feet deep and 500 feet long. The rim is about 90 feet above the valley floor. A small waterfall flows along a small joint in the rim of the rock shelter and forms a well-developed plunge pool. Much of the margin of Ash Cave is formed by a large joint that follows the valley formed by a tributary of the East Fork of Queer Creek. Bedrock is from the Mississippian Geologic Period. The photograph was taken by George W. White in 1945.
An outcrop of the Black Hand Sandstone of the Cuyahoga Formation that forms Old Man's Cave at Hocking Hills State Park, Hocking County, Ohio.
