Sedimentology and Provenance of
Carboniferous and Permian Rocks
of Athens County, Southeastern Ohio

Guidebook 15

By Gregory C. Nadon, Elizabeth H. Gierlowski-Kordesch, and Joseph P. Smith
23 p., 22 figures
1998
Price: $9.00 (plus sales tax and shipping)


Guidebook 15 focuses on exposures of Pennsylvanian-age sediments in southeastern Ohio. The authors discuss the regional and local geologic settings for these sediments, which are interpreted to have been deposited in a distal foreland basin. Provenance data for 25 Athens County sandstones are summarized. The sandstones, shales, and carbonates at four stops are interpreted on the basis of geometry and sedimentological features.
