Summary:

Named after Bartine Ranch [39 deg 31' 27"N, 116 deg 21' 30"W] which lies few mi southwest of Lone Mountain. Type section is on main southwest ridge leading from peak of Lone Mountain [Bartine Ranch 15' quad, Eureka Co, NV]. Is middle member of McColley Canyon Formation. Mapped in Sulphur Springs Range, Roberts Mountains, Lone Mtn and Table Mountain. Consists of alternating thin- to medium-bedded, medium-gray, fine-grained limestones and pale orange to yellowish argillaceous limestone. Is approx 480 ft thick at Lone Mountain. Conformably overlies Kobeh Member (new) of McColley Formation; conformably underlies Coils Creek Member (new) of McColley Formation except at Sulphur Springs Range where is overlain by Union Mountain Formation. Contains abundant EUREKASPIRIFER PINYONESIS fauna. Is Early Devonian age.
