|---|---|
| Name | Limestone, slate; Upper Triassic greenschist-facies metamorphic rocks; western Idaho, Blue Mountains island-arc complex; |
| Geologic age | Late Triassic |
| Original map label | TRuw; Jw |
| Comments | Lund and others (1993) suggest that Martin Bridge and Lucile series lithologies are interfingered throughout the Slate Creek-John Day Creek map area, and should therefore be combined into one unit, the Martin Bridge Formation. Metamorphic grade changes from eastern lower amphibolite-facies to western greenschist-facies. |
| Primary rock type | limestone |
