Ohio's Geologic Past
PreCambrian Period
(4.6 B- 542 MYA)
-Volcanic Activity and Rifting
-Mountain range formed and eroded in this time
no living species found
-igneous, metamorphic, and metasedimentary rocks very deep in surface
-no current productions

Silurian Period
(443-416 MYA)
-Ohio was dry and 20 degrees south of the Equator.
-The shallow sea was making a return
-Coral Reefs, Calms, Brachiopods, Chiopods, Cephalopods
-Limestone, dolomite, shale, gypsum for surface rocks in the South
-Salt and Sandstone in subsurface
crushed limestone
-Oil and Gas come from limestone in this period

Rocks that we use in an everyday life
-Salt and Gravel are used in mainly construction. It can be used in concrete, asphalt, and fill. Salt is used to control the ice on the roads in the winter. Gravel is used in driveways.
-Due to the various colors, Sandstone is used for decorational purposes. It also can be found in counter tops, glass, and ceramics.
-Clay and Shale are minerals used in many everyday items. It's used in bricks, tiles, and ceramics. Also, it's used in the making of paper, tires, pencils, inks, and cosmetics.
