Abstract
The southern Snake Range of Nevada lies between the Cambrian sections at Pioche and Eureka, Nevada, and Gold Hill and the House Range, Utah. The Cambrian rocks of the area include about 5,000 feet of beds assigned to the Prospect Mountain quartzite, Pioche shale, and the following new formations: Pole Canyon limestone (Middle Cambrian), Lincoln Peak formation (Middle and Upper Cambrian), Johns Wash limestone (Upper Cambrian), and Corset Spring shale (Upper Cambrian). Several hundred feet of uppermost Cambrian rock are left unassigned. The Middle and Upper Cambrian measured sections are separated by a thrust fault in the lower part of the Lincoln Peak formation. Mapping the southern Snake Range has shown that the new formations are practical units but has not provided a more complete section.
