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 by Guy L. Denny in July 1966.
Rockfall adjacent to a mobile home trailer at Sugar Grove, Fairfield County, Ohio. The rockfall material is the Black Hand Sandstone Member of the Cuyahoga Formation. Bedrock is from the Mississippian Geologic Period. The image was made in February 1983. Location approximate to a general location in the township.
A scenic view of Rockbridge with waterfall at Rockbridge State Nature Preserve in Hocking County, Ohio. The image was taken by Michael C. Hansen in 1973. The Natural Arch and Bridge Society defines a natural arch as �a rock exposure that has a hole completely through it formed by the natural, selective removal of rock, leaving a relatively intact frame.� At 92 feet Rockbridge is Ohio's longest natural bridge. The bridge originated as a typical Hocking Hills alcove carved into the soft middle layer of Black Hand Sandstone at the head of a short box canyon cut by a small tributary of the Hocking River. Three intersecting vertical fractures in the roof of the shelter were gradually enlarged until the block they surrounded...
An outcrop of Black Hand Sandstone Member of the Cuyahoga Formation at the Blackhand Gorge State Nature Preserve, Licking County, Ohio. The Black Hand Sandstone is characterized by thick to massive beds of cross-bedded sandstone that form prominent cliffs. The Black Hand Sandstone bedrock unit was named for the large, dark, hand-shaped American Indian petroglyph carved into the cliff wall at the location of this nature preserve. The petroglyph was destroyed in 1828 during the construction of the towpath for the Ohio and Erie Canal. Bedrock in this area is from the Mississippian Geologic Period. This photograph was an entry in the 1983 Ohio Geology Slide Contest.
This photograph shows near vertical strata on the Central Peak of the Serpent Mound Impact Structure on the William V. Martin farm north of Peebles in Adams County, Ohio. This area has dolomite, shale, limestone, sandstone, and siltstone lithologies. Because of the geologic forces that have acted on the site of the impact crater, bedrock in the area is a mixture of uplifted, down dropped, faulted, folded and eroded rock from the Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian and Mississippian Geologic Periods. The photograph was taken by Gerald H. Newsom during the American Association of Petroleum Geologists Eastern Section Meeting Field Trip to the Plum Run Quarry and the Serpent Mound Disturbance on October 10, 1998. The Serpent...
A Landsat Thematic Mapper satellite false-color image with lineaments showing the central peak of the Serpent Mound Impact Structure. The image was taken in September 1994 and processing was done by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Real Estate Management. The image was used for Subsurface Geology of the Serpent Mound Disturbance, Adams, Highland, and Pike Counties, Ohio by Mark T. Baranoski, Gregory A. Schumacher, Doyle R. Watts, Richard W. Carlton, and Belgasem M. El-Saiti (Report of Investigations No. 146) published by the Ohio Division of Geological Survey in 2003. The Serpent Mound Impact Structure is an approximately 9-mile-diameter area of highly disturbed and structurally deformed bedrock...
The image shows a close-up of sections in Box 22 of Ohio Division of Geological Survey's core DGS 3274 at the interval of 213.5 to 214.5 feet and 215.5 to 216.5 feet. This core section comes from the central uplift of the Serpent Mound Impact Structure, which has dolomite, shale, limestone, sandstone, and siltstone lithologies. Because of the geologic forces that have acted on the site of the impact structure, bedrock in the area is a mixture of uplifted, down dropped, faulted, folded and eroded rock from the Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian and Mississippian Geologic Periods. In 1979, John L. Carroll Mineral Exploration of New York City drilled two core holes in the Serpent Mound Impact Structure in Bratton Township,...

The section includes fossil bearing limestone. This core section comes from the central uplift of the Serpent Mound Impact Structure, which has dolomite, shale, limestone, sandstone, and siltstone lithologies. Because of the geologic forces that have acted on the site of the impact structure, bedrock in the area is a mixture of uplifted, down dropped, faulted, folded and eroded rock from the Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian and Mississippian Geologic Periods. In 1979, John L. Carroll Mineral Exploration of New York City drilled two core holes in the...

Bracciated Greenfield Dolomite containing porphyroclasts of dolomite and sphalerite. The sample comes from a graben in the central uplift (from page 396 of The Serpent Mound Cryptoexplosion Structure, Southwestern, Ohio by Stephen P. Reidel and Frank L. Koucky part of the Geological Society of America's GSA Cincinnati '81 Field Trip Guidebooks, v. 2. Economic Geology, Structure). The Serpent Mound Impact Structure is an approximately 9-mile-diameter area of highly disturbed and structurally deformed bedrock at the intersection of Adams, Highland and Pike counties. The area of the impact structure has dolomite, shale, limestone, sandstone, and siltstone lithologies. Because of the geologic forces that have acted...
A specimen of fractured Ordovician limestone from the Serpent Mound Impact Structure. The specimen was collected by Stephen P. Reidel as part of the research for his Geology of the Serpent Mound Cryptoexplosion Structure a thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the degree of Master of Science to the University of Cincinnati in 1972. The location given is approximate to the central point of the structure based on the specimen being collected by Dr. Reidel at the Serpent Mound Impact Structure, but the exact location in the structure not available at this time. The Serpent Mound Impact Structure is an approximately 9-mile-diameter area of highly disturbed and structurally deformed bedrock at the intersection of...
A specimen showing spheralite replacment without visible fracturing. The specimen shows contemporaneous solution of the dolomite and deposition of sphalerite. The photograph was taken by Stephen P. Reidel for his Geology of the Serpent Mound Cryptoexplosion Structure a thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the degree of Master of Science to the University of Cincinnati in 1972. It appears as Photo 40 in his thesis document. The specimen was collected from the central uplift area of the Serpent Mound Impact Structure near the fifth and southernmost of Reidel's seven radiating anticlines (see Location 5 on the index map for Plate 1 in Appendix IV of the thesis). The Serpent Mound Impact Structure is an approximately...
