| Description |
Mudchip breccia in sandstone in the Mississippian of Ohio, USA. The Logan Formation of eastern Ohio is a Mississippian-aged, siliciclastics-dominated unit having four members (from the base upward): Berne Conglomerate Member, Byer Sandstone Member, Allensville Member, and the Vinton Member. The grayish-colored structures shown above are thin, irregularly-shaped pieces of mudshale. The surrounding yellowish-rusty colored host rock is sandstone. Abundant mudshale chips in a host rock are referred to as mudchip breccias. Mudchip breccias and mudchips in sandstone form when erosion removes thin layers of previously-deposited muds, followed by transportation and deposition in coarser-grained sediments. Mudchips usually become aligned with the horizontal stratification. After burial, diagenesis, uplift, and erosion, mudchip-rich horizons tend to be readily exposed on split surfaces because they are planes of weakness. Stratigraphy: float from the Logan Formation, Osagean, upper Lower Mississippian Locality: Rittenours Outcrop - large roadcut on the northeastern side of Route 35, northeast of the town of Rittenours, Jefferson Township, southeastern Ross County, southern Ohio, USA (39° 13’ 46.29” North latitude, 82° 49’ 57.15” West longitude) |
