Summary:
Pg. 921, 922, 925. Victorio Peak member of Leonard formation. The gray limestone unconformably below Delaware Mountain sandstone [a part only of Delaware Mountain formation] has thickness of 500 to 1,000 feet, and contains brachiopod PRODUCTUS IVESI and other forms which serve to correlate it with upper part of the Leonard on one hand and with the San Andres[?] on the other. It is here proposed to call it Victorio Peak member of Leonard formation, because of prominent exposures at summit of mountain of that name, which is a conspicuous promontory of Sierra Diablo scarp. Below it is Bone Canyon member (new) [later Bone Spring limestone]. Is absent in Guadalupe Mountains, but a short distance north of Bone Canyon, on west side of Guadalupe Mountains, it wedges into the section and separates Bone Canyon member from Delaware Mountain sandstone. [This limestone and the Bone Spring limestone were originally included in Delaware Mountain formation, but are now excluded from the Delaware Mountain. See also entry under Delaware Mountain formation.]
