OGS makes donation to the Ohio Geological Survey
On October 30th, Mac Swinford, presented a check for $2,200 to Tom Serenko, State Geologist and Chief of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Geological Survey as a donation toward the printing costs for the second printing of Information Circular Number 63 “Ohio’s Geology in Core and Outcrop – A field guide for citizens and environmental and geotechnical investigators.”
These funds specifically helped pay for the upgrade to a new, waterproof paper. The proceeds were originally derived from a Devonian Shale Core Workshop held in 2014 and sponsored by the Ohio Geological Society. This workshop was spearheaded by John Wicks, former President of the Society.
IC-63 systematically lists each formation and provides information on a long list of diagnostic features. Vivid pictures of core and outcrop along with the colorful maps and illustrations help tell the story. Any geologist working with the surface or near surface geology of Ohio should have IC-63 in their library. Purchase IC-63 at the Ohio Geological Survey’s online bookstore at www.ohiogeology.com.
