The shale fire, non-anthropogenic in origin, occurred in the Late Devonian Huron Shale Member of the Ohio Shale Formation along River Road, northeast of the town of Monroeville in Ridgefield Township, Huron County, near the village of Milan (which also extends across the county border). The fire started in September 2009 as the result of spontaneous combustion in an oil-bearing shale exposed at the interface between an eroded stream cliff and its talus pile along the Huron River in north-central Ohio, approximately 5.6 km west of Milan and roughly 850 m south of the border of Erie County (41Β°16β€²41.4β€³N 82Β°40β€²27β€³W). The shale fire burned until March 2011 and created a variety of exotic mineral species, such as boussingaultite and lonecreekite, as well as the never-before-observed carlsonite and huizingite-(Al). The surface temperatures at the vent surrounding the condensate minerals was measured to be in the 204-260Β°C range, while the temperature reading at 0.5 m below the ground was as high as 426Β°C.

The Ohio Shale formation is a dark gray to black marine, carbon-rich shale containing ironstone concretions, finely divided pyrite and pyrite nodules and >10% organic matter.

NOTE: The species listed here are only those found in the fire suite. For minerals in the local concretions and pyrite nodules, please see - http://www.mindat.org/loc-266400.html

Located between Norwalk and Huron, about 60 miles west of Cleveland, and 3.5 miles west of center of Milan (5.3 miles by road).
