This is our outcrop about three miles north of Jackson
in Jackson County, Ohio. These rocks are exposed by the
Apple City Motorcycle Club headquarters just off US 35.
We can see here siltstones of the Mississippian topped
by a very mixed assemblage of Pennsylvanian sediments.
Note that the dark skies did not actually rain on us!
