The Waynesville Formation is a geologic formation in Ohio and Indiana. It preserves fossils from the Late Ordovician period.
The Saluda Formation is a geologic formation in Ohio and Indiana. It preserves fossils dating back to the Ordovician period.
The Sylvania Sandstone is a geologic formation in Ohio and Michigan. Its type locality is Sylvania, Ohio. It preserves fossils dating back to the Devonian period.

The Cuyahoga Formation is a geologic formation in Ohio. The age of the formation is difficult to determine, because of a lack of diagnostic fossils. Roughly, the formation dates from the Late Kinderhookian to the Middle Osagean. Eight members are recognized, among them the Orangeville Shale, Sharpsville Sandstone, and Meadville Shale.
The Maxville Limestone is a geologic formation in Ohio. It preserves fossils dating back to the Carboniferous period.
The Osgood Formation, also known as the Osgood Shale is a geologic formation in Indiana, Kentucky, and Ohio. It preserves fossils dating back to the Silurian period.
The Middle Run Formation is a geologic formation in Ohio. It dates back to the Precambrian. It was discovered in October 1987 when the United States Geological Survey dug a sample to learn more about Ohio's Precambrian basement rocks. Scientists estimated the boundary to be at 3,500 ft below the surface. After drilling through Mt. Simon sandstone, past the 3,500 ft mark, they were surprised to find more sandstone, which is the Middle Run Formation. Drilling in 1989 reached a depth of 5,370 ft of this same formation before the drill bit was stuck—without reaching the Precambrian basement rocks.
The Kerbel Formation is a geologic formation in Ohio. It dates back to the Cambrian.
The Kerbal Formation is a geologic formation in Ohio. It dates back to the Cambrian.
The Point Pleasant Formation is a geologic formation in Ohio. It dates back to the Middle Ordovician.
The Dayton Formation is a geologic formation in Ohio. It dates back to the Silurian.
