Named	Wasatch uplift Great Basin province	Shale Limestone

Summary:
Named for exposures in Manning Canyon, Utah Co, UT on the Wasatch uplift. Extends westward into Tooele Co, UT in the Great Basin province. Mapped as a band between the upper limestone of the Great Blue limestone and the base of the newly named Oquirrh formation. No type locality designated. Rocks assigned were included in the upper part of the original Great Blue limestone. Forms valleys. Is impervious to water, hence many springs in the valleys. Exposures are poor. Lower contact exposed in a few places. Contact with underlying Great Blue is gradational over 200 to 300 ft; contact placed at base of a predominantly shale section. Section 1,140 ft thick measured in Soldier Canyon, north of Ophir in Tooele Canyon. Consists of interbedded dark-gray to black shale; gray, thin-bedded, ledge-forming limestone; and one brown-weathering quartzite conformably below the Oquirrh and the measured section. Ranges from 750 ft thick west of Lewiston Peak to 1,140 ft thick at Hall Canyon and Soldier Creek. Fossils of Chester and Pennsylvanian age listed (pelecypods, brachiopods, etc.). Assigned to the Mississippian and Pennsylvanian. Stratigraphic chart.

Revised	Wasatch uplift

Summary:
Upper contact revised in that Manning Canyon formation underlies the newly named West Canyon Limestone Member, basal member of Oquirrh formation in Cache and Utah Cos., UT on the Wasatch uplift. The Manning Canyon-West Canyon contact as described is a calcareous bleached siltstone (Manning Canyon) overlain by dark gray calcisiltite or calcilutite (West Canyon). Of Mississippian and Pennsylvanian age.

Summary:
Upper contact revised in that Manning Canyon shale underlies the newly named Hall Canyon member of Morrowan age, basal member of the Oquirrh formation. Contact is transitional. Contact placed where limestones or locally where calcareous orthoquartzites (Hall Canyon) predominate over black and brown shales (Manning Canyon). Mapped on two geologic maps as a Pennsylvanian and Mississippian unit above the Great Blue limestone, but no other descriptive information concerning the Manning Canyon included in report. Mapped in the southern Oquirrh Mountains area, and Fivemile Pass and northern Boulter Mountain quads., Utah Co. (Wasatch uplift) and Tooele Co. (Great Basin province), UT.

Isotopic dating	Great Basin province

Summary:
Several samples taken from Black Pine Mountains area, Strevell 15 min quad, Cassia Co, ID, Great Basin province, and isotopically dated (K-Ar method) by Smith (1982, 1983), who collected them in an effort to define the time of thrusting, an important feature of the tectonic picture of this area. The thermal regime indicated by color-alteration indices of conodonts as reported by Smith (1983) would have reset the K-Ar ages of minerals in the sedimentary rocks. If this thermal regime was a result of thrusting, then the youngest K-Ar ages may indicate the approximate time of the last thrusting event. The samples of Paleozoic sedimentary rocks gave K-Ar dates ranging from Early Cretaceous to Late Cretaceous, a 35-m.y. spread. Possible explanations are: 1) the sediments were deeply buried and thus entered a zone of elevated temperatures for an extended time; they were then uplifted and/or thrust-faulted and exposed about 100-70 Ma ago; or 2) sediments were affected by a thermal regime that accompanied the thrust-faulting about 90-80 Ma ago. At the present time, evidence is inconclusive to substantiate either hypothesis. All samples are argillite from Manning Canyon Shale (Mississippian and Pennsylvanian), which is part of an allochthonous block in this area. The reduced K-Ar age is a result of thermal event(s).

Summary:
Upper contact revised in the Chesterian Manning Canyon Shale underlies: 1.) the newly named Bannock Peak Limestone, basal formation of the Oquirrh Group in southeast ID, and 2.) the West Canyon Limestone, basal formation of the Oquirrh Group in the Grassy, Cedar, Stansbury, Lake, Timpanogos, and southern Oquirrh Mountains of north-central UT. Bannock Peak replaces use of West Canyon in southeast ID. Area studied lies in the Great Basin province.
