A rock outcrop along the eastern bank of the Sandusky River, N of the city of Tiffin and the hamlet of Center.
This locality was first described by E. R. Cumings in 1930. Cumings (1930) described the locality as an “old quarry” two and half miles north of the town of Tiffin with “druzes of well crystallized calcite”.
The site was then visited later by Wilbur Stout in 1937 (1941). Stout (1941) determined that the rock belonged to Niagara Formation and was “99 percent” dolomite. Stout (1941) never mentioned that a quarry was located at this locality and Cumings may have mistaken the outcrop for one.
