Pg. 421-432. Hicks formation. Greater part consists of dolomite similar to those of underlying Lamb dolomite, but the formation also contains lenticular beds of sandstone, fossiliferous limestone, and in one place shale. Contains early Late Cambrian fossils. Thickness 600 to 1,200 feet. Variation in thickness believed to indicate unconformity with overlying Chokeberry dolomite, of Early Ordovician age.
Named from exposures in Hicks Gulch, in North Pass Canyon, Gold Hill district, Gold Hill 15-min quadrangle, Tooele Co., western UT.

Pg. 17-18, 53-54. Hicks formation. Thickness in Deep Creek Range, western Utah, 599 feet. Underlies Dunderberg shale; overlies Lamb dolomite. Because of lithick similarities and age relationships, it is recommended that Orr formation and underlying Weeks limestone be extended to other areas of similar lithology in preference to Hicks and Lamb formations. Age is Late Cambrian.

Pg. 1067. Hicks formation. Evidence indicates that an unconformity is not present at top of Hicks formation; rather the Hicks thins depositionally, and the Cambro-Ordovician boundary lies within Chokeberry dolostone.
