Summary:

Named for Teutonic Ridge, T10S, R3W, Eureka 7.5' quad, Juab Co, UT, Great Basin province. Formerly included in Mammoth or Eureka limestone. No type locality designated. Is well exposed from town of Robinson, on east side Quartzite Ridge where section 566 ft thick measured, and on west side of Teutonic Ridge. Described on Teutonic Ridge (measured section) as a dark blue-gray limestone with many veinlets that is 566 ft thick. Some beds thin-bedded, ribboned or mottled with bands or small blotches of yellowish-brown argillaceous "material." Upper limestone is finely banded and cross-bedded in upper part. Second section 564+ ft thick measured on spur southwest of Dagmar shaft. Stratigraphically younger than Ophir Formation (new) and older than Dagmar limestone (new). No fossils found, but lies between known Middle Cambrian beds, and therefore assigned to the Middle Cambrian based on stratigraphic position. Geologic map. Cross sections.
