| Description |
English: This outcrop is in the famous Cincinnatian Series of the tristate area of Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana. Rocks in the Cincinnatian were deposited in relatively shallow marine facies during the Late Ordovician. The Cincinnatian succession is mostly interbedded limestones and shales. Most of the limestones are event beds (= tempestites), deposited during ancient storms.
The Cincinnatian Series consists of three stage (from top to bottom): Richmondian Stage, Maysvillian Stage, and Edenian Stage. The rocks shown here are in the Edenian, in a unit called the Kope Formation. The Kope is relatively deep-water and generally consists of about 70% shale and 30% limestone. Fossils include typical Ordovician marine invertebrates, microfossils, and trace fossils. Stratigraphy: Kope Formation, Edenian Stage, lower Cincinnatian Series, Upper Ordovician Locality: roadcut on the northern side of Route 52, west of the Asbury Road-Rt. 52 intersection, east of Cincinnati, southeastern Hamilton County, southwestern Ohio, USA (39° 02’ 40.51" North latitude, 84° 22' 20.72" West longitude) |
