Description
This
photograph
is
most
likely
of
portion
of
shoreline
at
Kelley's
Island
.
Kelleys
Island
is
in
fact
a
mass
of
solid
limestone
rock
,
lifted
about
twelve
feet
out
of the
Lake
Erie
, and
rising
in
some
points
to an
elevation
of
40
or
50
feet
above
the
level
of the
lake
.
Geologically
, the
island
consists
of
successive
strata
of
Columbus
limestone
with as
many
as
60
layers
which
vary
in
thickness
from
2
to
8
inches
and
full
of
marine
fossils
. The
eastern
shores
of the
island
have
mostly
been
worn
smooth
from a
westbound
glacier
,
producing
gentle
shores
full
of
rocky
beaches
.
Western
facing
shores
are
more
sharp
and
jagged
, with
erosion
caused
from the
waves
of
lake
.
Columbus
limestone
can
be
found
in a
north-south
line
from
Kelleys
Island
in
Lake
Erie
to
south
of
Columbus
and
many
quarries
are, or have been,
actively
removing
this
high-calcium
limestone
for
use
in
production
of
cement
,
rip-rap
,
driveway
gravel
and
road
base
,
agricultural
lime
, and
other
uses
. The
unit
was
formed
in a
clear
,
shallow
,
tropical
sea
that
covered
the
state
.
Fossils
of
marine
animals
are
abundant
in the
Columbus
Limestone
.
