It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period. The groups consists of the following formations:[1] · Bedford Shale · Berea Sandstone · Sunbury Shale · Cuyahoga Formation · Logan Formation· Maxville LimestoneConglomerate (/kənˈɡlɒmərɪt/) is a clastic sedimentary rock that is composed of a substantial fraction of rounded to subangular gravel-size clasts. A conglomerate typically contains a matrix of finer-grained sediments, such as sand, silt, or clay, which fills the interstices between the clasts. The clasts and matrix are typically cemented by calcium carbonate, iron oxide, silica, or hardened clay. Conglomerates form by the consolidation and lithification of gravel. They can be found in sedimentary rock sequences of all ages but probably make up less than 1 percent by weight of all sedimentary rocks. In terms of origin and depositional mechanisms, they are closely related to sandstones and exhibit many of the same types of sedimentary structures, e.g., tabular and trough cross-bedding and graded bedding.[1][2][3]" IN ADDITION, THE TOWNSHIPS, MAJOR CITIES, TOWNS AND VILLAGES, WATERWAYS AND RAILROADS OF EACH COUNTY ARE ALSO SHOWN ON THE MAP THE MAP WAS PRODUCED BY THE STROBRIDGE & CO., LITHOGRAPHERS, OFCINCINNATI, OHIO AS INDICATED ON THE MAP; INFORMATION ON THIS COMPANY CAN BE FOUND ON WIKIPEDIA:"The Strobridge Lithographing Company was a maker of advertisement posters and lithographs founded in 1847 in Cincinnati, Ohio.[1] The company is named after Hines Strobridge who only joined the then stationery store in 1854[2] when it was known as Middleton, Wallace and Company, after its founding partners E.
