Redefined to include the original Victoria of Loughlin (1919) plus a 50-75 ft sequence of mottled, coarse-grained dolomites that were formerly assigned to Gardner dolomite, a term abandoned in this report. The revised Victoria is about 280 ft thick. A section 278 ft thick measured in E1/2 SE1/4 sec 33, T9S, R2W, Utah Co, Wasatch uplift, described where it overlies Bluebell dolomite and underlies Pinyon Peak limestone. Has yielded no identifiable fossils. Age of Late Devonian assigned on basis of position between two dated Late Devonian formations. Cross sections. Geologic map.
