Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Ohio's bedrock reveals a rich story of the ancient landscapes and animals-foot-long clams, massive meat-eating reptiles, lumbering mammoths-that existed thousands to hundreds of millions of years ago. Fluctuating seas full of marine life, widespread floodplains and rivers choked with sediment, and mile-thick ice sheets from the north all shaped Ohio's present landscape. The 25 road guides of Roadside Geology of Ohio, complete with 59 maps and figures and 172 photographs, lead you from one corner of the state to the other-from the flat till plains of the west to the hilly eastern Allegheny Plateau, and from the Ohio River valley to the Lake Erie shoreline. Mark Camp's clear writing explains how caverns and disappearing streams form in karst; why mud cracks, ripple marks, and cross-bedding layers are entombed in sedimentary rock; and how grooves up to 10 feet deep were gouged into the limestone of Kelleys Island. From deserted boomtowns to Ohio's big cities, Roadside Geology of Ohio thoroughly reveals the Buckeye State's fascinating and dynamic geology.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ironworks, Quarries and Potteries of Ohio, January 10, 2007
While a fine addition to Roadside Geology collection, this part of the series becomes as much a roadside history of the mining, quarrying, ironworks and potteries of Ohio as it does on the underlying geology that allowed those industries to flourish.

Better maps and illustrations of the ebb and flow of early ocean that formed Ohio's bedrock, the extent of glaciation in the ice ages and how the ice created the Ohio River would have been appreciated.
