Argillite, quartzite, and calc-silicate rock; Middle Proterozoic Yellowjacket Formation; southern Belt province (IDY1sm;0)

State	Idaho
Name	Argillite, quartzite, and calc-silicate rock; Middle Proterozoic Yellowjacket Formation; southern Belt province
Geologic age	Middle Proterozoic
Original map label	Y1s; Y?s
Comments	Y1s represents the Yellowjacket Fm, which consists of calcareous, shallow-water deposits of metasandstone and siltite, below the Hoodoo Quartzite (ID025, ID090). Mudchips and scapolite after evaporite indicate shallow water deposition. These rocks are metamorphosed to upper greenschist facies. On map ID001 use of the Yellowjacket name and Y1s symbol was extended to other gray quartzites and siltites that are widespread in the Salmon River Mountains and northern Lemhi Range. In accordance with ID025 and ID090, these rocks are now assigned to the Lemhi Group (Y3s), and where possible, polygons on map ID001 have been re-classified accordingly.
Primary rock type	meta-argillite
