Cincinnati Arch

picture info	Cincinnati Arch The Cincinnati Arch is a broad structural uplift between the Illinois Basin to the west, the Michigan Basin to the northwest and the Appalachian Basin and Black Warrior Basin to the east and southeast. It existed as a positive topographic area during Late Ordovician through the Devonian Period which stretched from northern Alabama northeastward to the southeastern tip of Ontario. Fossils from the Ordovician Period are commonplace in the geologic formations which make up the Cincinnati Arch, and are commonly studied along man made roadcuts. The Nashville Dome of Tennessee and the Jessamine Dome or Lexington Dome of central Kentucky make up the central portion of the Arch. In the northern part, north of Cincinnati, Ohio, the Cincinnati Arch branches to form the Findlay and Kankakee arches. The Findlay plunges under Ontario and reappears as the Algonquin Arch further north. Petroleum was first discovered in a relatively low part of the arch, between the Jessamine and Nashville ...

picture info	Kope Formation The Kope Formation is one of the three component bedrock formations of the Maquoketa Group that primarily consists of shale (75%) with some limestone (25%) interbedded. In general, it has a bluish-gray color that weathers light gray to yellowish-gray and it occurs in northern Kentucky, southwest Ohio, and southeast Indiana, United States. Description Depositional environment The depositional environment of the Kope was shallow marine. The central North American continent was a tropical epeiric sea at the time. Jennette and Pryor (1993) interpret the Kope, along with the Bellevue and Fairview Formations, as a progradational succession on a carbonate ramp. The Kope is the most distal facies of the ramp complex.

picture info	Maysville Roadcut The Maysville roadcut, located in northeastern Kentucky, features Upper Ordovician rock and fossils. Maysville is located in Mason County, Kentucky and contains a large roadcut along the U.S. Route 68 highway. The Maysville roadcut lies on the Clyde T. Barbour Parkway. The Cut (earthworks), roadcut was human-made in the 1950s and consists of rock from the Ordovician period that is roughly 450 million years old. Maysville provides an opportunity to observe the stratigraphy of the Formation of rocks, formations present of the Ordovician time period. The roadcut is made up of three different formations: the Kope Formation, Kope, Fairview Formation, Fairview, and Bellevue Formation, Bellevue in ascending order. They are broken up into different layers that can be identified by different sediments and fossils present. The Maysville roadcut formations are made up primarily of shale and limestone. The abundance of each rock type differs amongst the three formations. Shale dominates in the B ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
