| Abstract | Two sulfate minerals, barite and celestite, were identified in the Devonian rocks at Pugh Quarry. The barite occurs commonly as rosette-like clusters with wide variety of colors and crystal habits. Unusual features include paired crystals and hollow crystals. The former consist of two barite crystals growing parallel with each other on the dolostone matrix, and the latter only of a thin wall of barite commonly marked by cross striations. Celestite crystals have two different colors. The grayblue and blue crystals are prismatic to blocky and occur as well-formed individuals, whereas the colorless and white crystals are tabular to bladed and occur as distinct individuals and as compact clusters. OHIO J. SCI. 80(1): 20, 1980 This is the fourth and last part of the mineralogy studies of Pugh Quarry. The quarry is located in the SW>2, SW34, Sec. 6, T.4N, R.9E in Milton Township, Wood Co., Ohio, and has quite a diversified mineral assemblage. In addition to the barite and celstite described in this paper, there are the sulfides: marcasite, pyrite, and sphalerite (Parr and Chang 1977, 1978), the carbonates: calcite and dolomite (Parr and Chang 1979), and fluorite (Parr and Chang, 1979). |
