Named as middle member of Goldens Ranch Formation. Best exposures occur northwest and southeast of Hall Canyon in NE1/4 sec 16, T13S, R1W, on east side Long Ridge, Juab Co, UT in the Great Basin province. No type locality designated. Separable into Q and V units. Separable on basis of presence of volcanic clasts. Relationship of units to each other not explained. Unit Q is composed of 60 to 70 percent quartzite clasts and 30 to 40 percent limestone clasts. Unit V is composed of 45 to 55 percent quartzite clasts, 15 percent Paleozoic limestone clasts, and 30 to 40 percent volcanic clasts. Quartzite clasts look like Tintic Quartzite; limestone clasts are from Paleozoic limestone; volcanic clasts are chiefly red andesite. Matrix of both units is bentonitic clay. Is about 250 +/-m thick. Overlies Chicken Creek Tuff Member (stratigraphic rank reduced from formation) of Goldens Ranch. Unconformably underlies Sage Valley Limestone Member of the Goldens Valley. Correlates with part of Ajax and Crazy Hollow Formations. Correlation chart. Assigned an Oligocene age. (B1565)
