   What makes Cincinnati a 'fieldstone' city?

   • Cincinnati’s limestone is rock-solid and constitutes the many “fieldstone” walls that line our more venerable streets. Those stones, despite the name, did not come from any field—quarries atop Price Hill, Mt. Auburn, and Fairview churned out native building stone for a century or more.

   Why does Cincinnati have the highest per-capita damage from landslides?

   • Our shale, on the other hand, turns into a slippery, oleaginous muck when saturated with rainwater, which is why Cincinnati has the highest per-capita damage from landslides of any U.S. city. If your commute along Columbia Parkway has been detoured due to hillsides pouring onto the roadway, you can appreciate our wet shale.

   The geologic underpinning of Cincinnati consists of old Ordovician bedrock, which contains the world-famous fossils of the area, a capping of glacial deposits, much younger but still ancient in human terms, and thick, modern river-bank deposits along both the major rivers and many smaller creeks. All three are involved in slope failures.
