| State | Idaho |
|---|---|
| Name | Limestone, arenite, and shale; Cambrian marine continental-shelf deposits; northern Idaho |
| Geologic age | Middle Cambrian |
| Original map label | Cmn; Cun |
| Comments | area of Cmn on state map was mapped as Cambrian unidivided by Miller and others (1999, ref. ID020), comprised of Gold Creek Quartzite, Rennie Shale, and Lakeview Limestone, all of which are Middle Cambrian. Polygons for the upper Cambrian Cun unit on the state map are therefore changed to Cmn, and the unit Cun is deleted. |
