| 説明 | Gastropod in fossiliferous sandstone in the Mississippian of Ohio, USA.The Bowerston Shale Company was founded in the fall of 1929 by Samuel D. Milliken. They have brick manufacturing plants in Bowerston, Ohio and Hanover, Ohio.The Hanover plant makes bricks using rocks derived from two quarries that I know of - the Hanover Pit and the Frazeysburg Pit. I have visited both, with kind permission of the Bowerston company. The Hanover Pit targets shales of the Vinton Member (Logan Formation), a Lower Mississippian mixed siliciclastics unit. The Frazeysburg Pit targets shales of the Pottsville Group, a Pennsylvanian-aged succession of interbedded shales, limestones, sandstones, coals, flint, clay, and minor ironstone. The shales are excavated at both pits and left in piles in the quarries to weather. Limestones, sandstones, and coals are excluded from the shale piles. Shale material is eventually trucked to the Hanover Plant, where it is processed into bricks.The rock seen here is part of a large talus block of sandstone, which is unusable overburden at the Hanover Pit.
