This is a glacial erratic at the town of Claridon in north-central Ohio. Glacial erratics are isolated boulders left behind by melting glaciers. Ohio has many glacial erratics that were transported from the North during the Pleistocene Ice Age. The lithology is conglomerate. At times, this rock has been mis-referred to as a meteorite (it's not - it's a "meteor-wrong").
Provenance: supposedly transported to this site from east of the Olentangy River, east of the town of Claridon, Ohio
Locality: Aye Monument - large boulder at Claridon Cemetery, eastern side of the town of Claridon, eastern Marion County, north-central Ohio, USA (40° 34' 56.54" North latitude, 82° 59' 32.54" West longitude)
