| State | Idaho |
|---|---|
| Name | Limestone, arenite, dolostone, chert, siltstone, shale; Upper Paleozoic marine continental-shelf deposits; southeastern Idaho |
| Geologic age | Late Paleozoic |
| Original map label | PZu |
| Comments | PZu on state map matches PZu on Pocatello quad. The map explanation names stratigraphic units, but shows no boundary between PZu and PZl. On the map Ordovician (but not Devonian) units extend to the boundary of PZl undivided. Also, the base of the Devonian is at the midpoint of the time span of the Paleozoic Era (208 Ma). |
| Primary rock type | limestone |
| Secondary rock type | arenite |
| Other rock types | dolostone (dolomite); chert; siltstone; shale |
