Ohio Geology and Collecting locations

  Only Paleozoic rock formations underlie  Ohio’s Pleistocene surface debris and Quaternary soils.  For long ages Ohio lay beneath a shallow sea which received successively enormous quantities of Ordovician, Silurian, Devonian, Mississippian and Pennsylvanian sediments; the erosional products of some 200  million years.  Few, if any Mesozoic rocks appear within the state, but every one of Oh io’s 88 counties is surfaced with Pleistocene debris.  The state was buried completely four  times by Ice Age glaciers, leaving the land
surface nearly level but with some fairly rugge d low hills in the southeastern corner.  There are few localities containing worthwhile gems or minerals, although excavations in the underlying black, Upper Devonian (New Albany) shales occasionally produces pieces of silicified wood.

  Ohio ranks first in the nation in the  production of limestone and dolomite, and second in the production of clays.  Lesser prod uction of iron, petroleum, natural gas and coal from thick beds contributes to the mineral econom y.  But as far as the collector is concerned, Ohio is unique in but a single gemstone, an exceptionally high quality, colorful flint that is mostly a mixture of chert, translucent chalcedony, jasp-agate and common opal, rivaling in beauty the Arizona agatized wood.  This gem flint occurs in the 8 mile long Flint Ridge, between Newark (Licking Co.) and Zanesville  (Muskingum Co.), a region of rolling, wooded hills.  Here, prehistoric Indians quarried the toolmaking material for arrowheads and other implements.

  While occurrences are widespread throughout  Ohio, the chief deposits of true flint (characterized by ease of working) include the highly colored  Vanport   flint of the Flint Ridge and the Upper Mercer  flint exposed in Hocking, Perry, and Coshocton counties.  Early American settlers also quarried a rough, porous flintstone from outcrops, especially around McArthur, Vinton Co., for making the burstones  they needed for grinding grain in their water mills.

  Other collectable minerals are rare, alth ough quarries in the western counties, especially the Clay Center Quarry 12 miles sout heast of Toledo but in Ottawa Co. between Rtes. 51 and 579 yield good specimens of  Celestite,  Dolomite crystals,  Fluorite (fluorescent),  ,  Galena,  Marcasite,  Pyrite,  Selenite and  Sphalerite.  A few alluvial Diamonds have been found.
