Regional Geology
This geological map and associated information on rock units at or nearby to the coordinates given for this locality is based on relatively small scale geological maps provided by various national Geological Surveys. This does not necessarily represent the complete geology at this locality but it gives a background for the region in which it is found.

Quaternary - Miocene 0 - 23.03 Ma ID: 3185380 | Cenozoic sedimentary rocks Age: Cenozoic (0 - 23.03 Ma) Lithology: Sedimentary rocks Reference: Chorlton, L.B. Generalized geology of the world: bedrock domains and major faults in GIS format: a small-scale world geology map with an extended geological attribute database. doi: 10.4095/223767.

Cisuralian - Pennsylvanian 272.95 - 323.2 Ma ID: 2847000 | Carbonate Shelf Sequence - Limestone, dolomite, siltstone, sandstone, and shale Age: Paleozoic (272.95 - 323.2 Ma) Stratigraphic Name: Bird Spring Formation; Riepe Spring Limestone; Ely Limestone Description: Present in Elko, White Pine, Lincoln, and Clark Counties. This unit represents mostly Upper Pennsylvanian and Lower Permian rocks that have not otherwise been separated into units Psc or IPMbc. Unit includes unnamed Pennsylvanian and Lower Permian limestone and sandstone beds in Lincoln County, the Bird Spring Formation in Clark County, the Riepe Spring and Ely Limestones (undivided) in White Pine County, and limestone and dolomite rocks not otherwise assigned in Elko County. This unit lies depositionally below unit Psc and above the Ely Limestone (IPMbc) where it is mapped separately. Where unit IPMbc is not mapped separately in southern Nevada, the unit lies directly on Mississippian carbonate (Mc) and in White Pine County it rests on undivided Chainman and Pilot Shales and Joana Limestone (shown as either unit IPMcl or MDcl).
