Plum Run Stone quarry located two miles east of Peebles in Adams County, Ohio. The image shows a graben fault with the Greenfield Dolomite on the right and the Tymochtee Dolomite on the left. According to Subsurface Geology of the Serpent Mound Disturbance, Adams, Highland, and Pike Counties, Ohio (Report of Investigations No. 146, page 9), a series of north-northwest-oriented grabens, bounded by normal faults and folds, has been observed at the Plum Run quarry. This area has dolomite, shale, limestone and sandstone lithologies. Bedrock is from the Silurian Geologic Period. The photograph was taken by Gerald H. Newsom during the American Association of Petroleum Geologists Eastern Section Meeting Field Trip to the Plum Run Quarry and the Serpent Mound Disturbance on October 10, 1998.
