Summary

Description
English: Intraclastic limestone in the Pennsylvanian of Ohio, USA.

This is a close-up of a weathered roadcut of Fishpot Limestone, a nonmarine, lacustrine limestone unit in the Upper Pennsylvanian Monongahela Group of eastern Ohio. Angular clasts of fine-grained limestone (micrite) are relatively abundant. The lack of rounding and the lithologic similarity with the host limestone unit indicates that these are intraclasts, probably ripped up during a storm event.

Notice the jumbled mix of large, laminated limestone intraclasts in this photo. The angle of tilt varies significantly from clast to clast.

Locality: Pipe Creek Road outcrop - roadcut on the western side of Rt. 7, immediately north of the Rt. 7-Belmont County Road 54 intersection [Belmont Co. Rd. 54 = Pipe Creek Road], southeastern Mead Township, Belmont County, Ohio, USA
