Composed of soft, fissile clay shale that grades locally into fine-grained sandy shale. Has much carbonaceous matter. Some cobble-like concretions of iron carbonate locally. One massive 30 ft thick quartzite near middle in northwest part of area. Some gray limestone. Is nearly 1,000 ft thick; differs greatly in thickness from place to place. Upper part is fossiliferous; fossils listed. Assigned to Upper Mississippian.

Summary:
Term Chainman shale extended from "type locality" in Ely district of Spencer (1917, p.26-27) into Eureka district, NV and applied to basal black shale of Late Mississippian age where unit can be mapped separately (in 2 areas only). Elsewhere equivalent beds are included in Chainman and Diamond Peak formations undifferentiated. Is predominantly black shale with thin interbeds of brown sandstone. Apparent thickness at mouth of Secret Canyon is about 5000 ft. Base not exposed in western belt, limit being marked by igneous rocks or fault contact with rocks of early Paleozoic age. In Windfall Canyon, Permian(?) rocks rest directly on Chainman shale or Diamond Peak formation. Brachiopods collected in Eureka area suggest Late Mississippian age. Corals were examined by Helen Duncan who reports that they resemble lower Carboniferous genera.

Summary:
Term "formation" is more apt than "shale" for Diamond Peak area. Chainman Formation divided into Water Canyon facies consisting mostly of black shale in southern and southeastern parts of mapped area and Black Point facies consisting mostly of siltstone on west side of range from south of Black Point to northern boundary of quad. Water Canyon facies consists largely of clayrock and clayey siltrock which are commonly carbonaceous and pyritiferous; Black Point facies consists of interbedded siltstone, clayrock sandstone, and conglomerates. Also includes discontinuous intercalations of sandstone and conglomerate. Generalized sections included in report for both facies (Water Canyon facies, 1830 and 2400ft: Black Point facies, 3530ft) which are also shown on geologic map of Diamond Peak area. Faunal evidence though meager points to Meramec age for Chainman Formation in Diamond Peak area.

Summary:
Lower part of Chainman Shale described in Needle Mountains, Millard Co, UT in Great Basin province. Divisible into a lower phosphatic member and overlying Needle Siltstone Member (first published use). The phosphatic member overlies Joana Limestone. Phosphatic hardground present at contact. This lower member is a dark organic-rich starved-basin deposit laid down in the Deseret starved basin west of a westward-prograding carbonate platform beginning in late Tournaisian (Osagean) time. Phosphatic member is composed of phosphorite, phosphatic shale and siltstone, bedded spiculitic and radiolarian chert, chertified phosphorite, and micritic limestone. This lower member is continuous into Deseret Limestone, Little Flat, Woodman, and Deep Creek Formations. Overlying Needle Siltstone Member is a bioturbated distal-flysch unit deposited as a result of lowering of sea level as floods of clastic sediments swept east from the nearly filled trough across a shallow submarine rise. These younger sediments intertongued with and later overwhelmed the starved basin sediments. Of late Tournaisian and early Visean (Osagean and Meramecian) age. Conformably overlain by Skunk Spring Limestone Bed. Cross section. Paleogeographic representations.

Divided into (ascending order): Delle Phosphatic Member (new) of Osagean and Meramecian age and Needle Siltstone Member of Meramecian age in the Needle Range, Millard Co, UT in Great Basin province. Chainman lies in the foreland basin. Delle was called phosphatic member in earlier reports. Chainman overlies Joana Limestone. Basal contact of Delle is a hardground developed on top of the Joana. Delle also assigned as basal member of Woodman, Deep Creek, Little Flat, and Aspen Range Formations, and of Deseret Limestone and Brazer Dolomite at other localities.
