No Precambrian fossils are known from Ohio, so the state's fossils record does not start until the Cambrian Period. [2] During the later part of the period, Ohio was covered in seawater and located 10 degrees south of the equator. By the end of the Cambrian the sea was shallow and the climate dry. Although marine life was diverse during the ...
