| State | Idaho |
|---|---|
| Name | Shale, arenite, siltstone, limestone, and chert; thrust-bounded Devonian to Ordovician deep-marine-basin deposits; central Idaho |
| Geologic age | Devonian and Silurian |
| Original map label | DS; DSc |
| Comments | new unit DOc = DSc + SOc. Area shown as DSc on Idaho state map corresponds with area symbolized symbolized DSO on map of eastern part of Hailey quad (Link and others, 1995). This unit includes Devonian, Silurian and Ordovician argillaceous rocks, of the Milligen, Trail Creek, and Phi Kappa Fms. Thrust faults bound this assemblage. |
