The Euclid Creek Reservation pyrite occurrence is an outcrop that is exposed along Euclid Creek in Euclid, Cuyahoga County. The rocks exposed at the outcrop is the Devonian Cleveland Shale Member.
The American Mineralogist (1935, p. 462) reported that nodules and spheres of pyrite crystals were found at the outcrop, though erroneously stated that the locality was in Cleveland Heights. The locality is within a very short walking distance from the Welsh Woods Picnic Pavilion, which is part of the Euclid Creek Reservation, itself part of the Cleveland Metroparks.
