Ohio Rocks - Geology, Ice Age, Fossils, and Resources (Full)

Ohio was much different than it is today. Watch and learn what made it so as we explore Ohio's geology, ice age, and fossils.

There's a park somewhere in the hills on the outskirts of Cincinnati with some trails in the surrounding hills and exposed outcroppings of rocks, many loaded with fossils. When I was walking around the park area I tripped on something and looked down and dug up one of those golf ball sized clams that are common in that area. Quite a find when you're a kid.

[@ilovechrist2901]

My grandfather had a small lake built in north east Ohio on the farm in the 1960's and I would find seashell fossil imprints in the rocks along the shore.

[@bradweir6993]

[@garyclark6281]

On my grandparents farm south of Camden Oh. after a heavy rain, there would be lots of "petrified cow horns" washed out where the driveway went up a hill side.

[@lukebrown8701]

They keep forgetting places like black hand gorge. The geology there is awesome. I been studying geology and collecting rocks and minerals for over 30 years. Hocking hills is beautiful...I agree...but ohio has other great places too. Right by ohio caverns is one of the most unique caverns called zane caverns. Near columbus there is olintangey caverns as well. Middle bass island has perry's cave but also has the worlds largest celestite geode. This geode is called crystal cave.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for this video! It’s everything I wanted to know about the geology of my hone state, all rolled up into one tidy video! I guess I shouldn’t everything, but there’s enough info in here to help me on my way to more Ohio geology knowledge! Thanks again from here in northeastern Ohio! 🙏

A 250ft Sandstone bolder was dropped off in the middle of Lancaster. It was turned into a local park and you can climb to the top of Mt. Pleasant. The Local Natives called it Standing Stone. It has a great view of Lancaster & distant Columbus.

Just east of Navarre along S.R. 212 before getting to Bolivar, there are some huge magnificent boulders which designate the end moraine of the last glacier.

There's more cool places other than Hocking hills/Ash cave Old Man's cave cedar falls rock house and everything else in Hocking hills.... There's a place called edge of Appalachia close to Peebles Ohio and they have awesome cliffs and fossils everywhere. And another place is Caesars Creek they have some of the coolest fossils ever and a huge field that's like 10 football fields put together where a glacier went through you can find fossils everywhere.

[@johnthomas1689]

Examples and explanations for concretions would have been suitable for this presentation. Northern Franklin/southern Delaware counties have deep shale cuts which produce giant concretions.

[@TinaHyde]

Any areas in particular?

[@johnthomas1689]

@@TinaHyde Highbanks Park in Delaware and many Olentangy River tributaries south of the park expose shale and many sizes and shapes of concretions. Almost any creek that feeds into the Olentangy river from the East will cut into the shale and expose concretions. This continues along the Scioto river as well, south of Columbus....happy hunting.

[@tashacherry1480]

I live just 27 miles north of Ohio. I've been to Cave City in Kentucky which was really cool but I have never heard of the caves in Ohio. Planning on going to Serpents Mound soon with my kids. It you don't mind can you tell me are there caves near there or something interesting. We're into outdoors/nature stuff.

[@Mike-hr6jz]

@@tashacherry1480 actually seven caves is not real far from serpent mound if you take Route 50 from Hillsboro going towards a town called RainsBoro and then Bainbridge before you get to Bainbridge on the right is a road leads to seven cage it’s not open to the public but you can still go through there and see the amazing scenery it is close to paint Creek Reservoir but on the other side of 50 it is truly awesome if you walk around the grounds.

In the areas not covered by ice sheets. Most of what's now the USA was ice-free during the last glaciation.

[@SquatchyBunker]

At the dawn of the VCR age we got to watch shows in school about Ohio natural history. I was always fascinated by them. To this day, at 53, I still drive around looking for glacial moraines. I wonder: Do kids still get to watch this kind of thing in school? I know it goes against "The Narrative" that there was no history before 1609. I'm genuinely curious, though - not just being political....(OK I'm kinda being political, but the question stands.)

The information given in the body of this video suggests it was produced for high schoolers but the host’s demeanor is well below that. It’s like he’s talking to 10 year olds.

[@nibiruresearch]

I know of a missing link in the education of geologists. When we look at the many horizontal layers that we find throughout our planet, we clearly see the effect of a repeating cataclysm. These disasters are mentioned in ancient books like the Mahabharata of India and the Popol Vuh of the Mayans and others. They tell us about a cycle of seven disasters that separate the eras from the world. Certainly, regularly recurring global disasters cannot be caused by asteroid impacts or volcanic eruptions. The only possible cause is another celestial body, a planet, orbiting our sun in an eccentric orbit. Then it is close to the sun for a short period and after the crossing at a very high speed it disappears into the universe for a long time. Planet 9 exists, but it seems invisible. These disasters cause a huge tidal wave of seawater that washes over land "above the highest mountains." At the end it covers the earth with a layer of mud, a mixture of sand, clay, lime, fossils of marine and terrestrial animals, gravel and meteorites. They also create a cycle of civilizations. To learn much more about the recurring flood cycle and its chronology, the re-creation of civilizations and ancient high technology, read the e-book: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". It can be read on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibiru 9

[@johnkelly9451]

All i can say is wow....that's deep...tks for the tips....very cool comment....

[@virolo1960]

How do you distinguish ice age glacial erosion from a worldwide flood eroding the land as the water drains rapidly away? How do you distinguish glacially scooped rocks from asteroid impact splashing?

[@hertzer2000]

A glacier, acting like a bulldozer, will produce moraines. A moraine is the rock and dirt deposit that the glacier will push up as it moves forward. A flood will cut and deposit the dirt and rocks in a different manner. An asteroid will deposit debris in a wide, scattered way. The glacial moraines will plow the earth into an organized U shaped fashion.

[@fractuss]

The first question is easy: there was no worldwide flood.

[@ghostmedic86]

Easy to distinguish between all those. Simply look at the astounding amount of evidence compiled by thousands of different people. None of this was proven by one person with a simple opinion.

[@mikehorton6195]

For that you would need a thing you probably don’t believe in. Science. Science based on evidence. You’re probably not happy here , maybe you should move on.

[@virolo1960]

@@mikehorton6195 I believe real science. Not nonsense that is falsely called science, when all you have is hypothesis with zero demonstrable science to back it up. Perhaps you could point out some actual science to confirm your statements, something more than a bare pronouncement with no evidence to support it.

[@greggibbs5288]

4400 years of sediment load in all river deltas of the world! This was the first time it had rained! No millions of years, you can only get a fossil if it’s covered up rapidly in the flood.
