;
Upper Mississippian to Lower-Middle Pennsylvanian limestones and calcareous sandstones, which overlie the Manning Canyon Formation, crop out in the Albion, Sublett, and Bannock Ranges and the Black Pine, Deep creek, and Samaria Mountains, and have been assigned to various formations and groups. Five carbonate and two siliciclastic lithofacies are recognized: bioclastic packstones to grainstones; whole-fossil wackestones to muddy packstones; bioturbated, arenaceous mudstones to wackestones; oncolite packstones to grainstones; bryozoan framestones; calcareous quartz arenites to sublithic arenites; and calcareous shales. The lithologies are interpreted as being deposited on a barrier shoal carbonate ramp along the eastern margin of the Oquirrh basin and are time-equivalent to the West Canyon Limestone of northwestern Utah.
