Explore Ohio’s rocks, fossils, and long scientific effort through the historic Geological Survey of Ohio.

This edition frames how early geologists built a map of the state’s minerals, rocks, and fossil guides, and why those findings mattered for understanding our land.

The volume blends a concise historical sketch with an organized view of Ohio geology. It discusses the rise and interruption of the survey, key figures, and the evolution of geological ideas that shaped mineral exploration and state resources. Readers will get a sense of the field work, the analytical approach, and how fossil evidence helps date and relate rock layers.

Foundational history of Ohio geology and the people who powered the survey.
How fossils serve as reliable guides to the age and arrangement of rocks.
Overview of major formations, coal measures, and mineral resources.
glimpses of field sections, maps, and the practical impact of geological work on the state.
