Named as one of eight formations of the Dove Creek Group (new) for exposures on Conner Creek, east of Mount Harrison, Albion Range, Cassia Co, ID in the Great Basin province. Good exposures are found along the creek in: secs 16, 17, 20, 21, T13S, R23E; in secs 1, 2, 11, and 12, T14S, R23E; in secs 2, 3, T13S, R24E. No type locality designated. Consists of mica schist, thin flaggy quartzite, carbonate rocks. On the east side of the Albion Range, the Conner Creek is composed of light-colored muscovite-K feldspar-quartz schist interbedded quartzite (some green), some thin calcareous sandstone, and carbonate rock. On the west side of the range, it is muscovite-quartz schist and quartzite at base that grade upward into graphitic staurolite-garnet-muscovite-quartz schist, tremolite-bearing marble, sandy dolomite and limestone, and quartzite. Upper part on Mount Harrison is a flaggy quartzite, sandy phlogopite marble, calcareous quartzite, thin graphitic garnet schist. Is about 4,000 ft thick on Mount Harrison. Both contacts defined by quartzites--the newly named Cambrian? Elba Quartzite of Dove Creek Group below and the newly named Cambrian and Ordovician Harrison Summit Quartzite of the Dove Creek above. Geologic map; mapped in the central part of the Albion Range. Assigned a Cambrian and Ordovician age.
