Figure 1: Extent of the Silurian salt deposits in Michigan, Ohio, New York, and adjacent states [2] The Salina is an extensive formation. It ranges from West Virginia up through Pennsylvania into Ohio and then Michigan in the United States, and from Pennsylvania into New York. It is also found in the Canadian province of Ontario. (See Figure 1.)
The top plate illustrates the tectonic setting for the sediments of Pennsylvania. This section is characterized by the metamorphic rocks that provide much of the bedrock for this area. The oldest exposed rocks in Pennsylvania are found here and consist of the Baltimore Gneiss. [8] These rocks have a complex history and a vast array of different ...
Pewangoing Quarry, Norwood Township, Michigan, NRHP-listed, site of tool-making from Early Archaic period through Late Woodland period; Calcite Limestone Quarry, Rogers City, Michigan, the largest limestone quarry in the world, now owned by Carmeuse and operated as Carmeuse Calcite Operations.

[25] [30] Sand and gravel were transported in streams that flowed northward out of the Northern Michigan Highlands, remnants of mountains formed during the Penokean orogeny. The streams leveled out along what is now the southern shore of Lake Superior, depositing sediment that formed the Jacobsville Sandstone. [ 9 ]
Following is a list of dams and reservoirs in Pennsylvania. All major dams are linked below. The National Inventory of Dams defines any "major dam" as being 50 feet (15 m) tall with a storage capacity of at least 5,000 acre-feet (6,200,000 m 3 ), or of any height with a storage capacity of 25,000 acre-feet (31,000,000 m 3 ).
In the Michigan Basin, the sandstone is present in the eastern part of the state, thickest near Michigan's Thumb. [3] [4] The two deposits are separated by the Cincinnati Arch and are disconnected from each other. [3] The sandstone overlies the Bedford Shale and the Ohio Shale and underlies the Sunbury Shale.
