Summary

Description

This rock has eroded from an outcrop of mixed siliciclastic sedimentary rocks. The locality has Pennsylvanian rocks disconformably overlying Mississippian rocks. I'm not sure of the provenance of this specimen (i.e., whether it's derived from above or below the unconformity).

The sample is a nodule composed of ironstone. The interior of the nodule, as shown on this crack surface, is grayish siderite (FeCO3 - iron carbonate). The slightly reddish-colored margin is a weathering rind. The reddish-brown area in the interior is hematite.

Stratigraphy: Vinton Member, upper Logan Formation, Osagean Series, upper Lower Mississippian OR lower Pottsville Group, Morrowan Stage, upper Lower Pennsylvanian

Locality: Trinway West 6 Outcrop - roadcut on the northwestern side of Rt. 16, 1.0 miles northeast of the Rt. 16-Old Riley Road intersection, northeast of the town of Frazeysburg & west of the town of Trinway, northwestern Muskingum County, Ohio, USA (40° 08' 41.54" North latitude, 82° 05' 06.18" West longitude)
