Ohio produces three billion dollars worth of natural gas and $844 million of oil annually. Coal deposits were first recognized in the 1740s by early settlers and were mapped as early as 1752. Decreased demand due to increased natural gas production has reduced coal mining in the 2010s, although one underground mine and three surface mines ...

[2] Its members include: Bellepoint, Marblehead, Tioga Ash Bed, Venice, Delhi, Klondike, and East Liberty.

Berea Sandstone was formed in the Late Devonian period. [10] [11] Prior to the 1970s, it was assigned a Mississippian age. [10]The Devonian-Carboniferous boundary was realigned based on research from Europe, but various geologists were not aware of the changes and so incorrectly assigned Berea Sandstone to the Kinderhookian (early Mississippian).
