Limestone and dolomite, locally thick sequences of shale and siltstone (NVCAc;0)

State	Nevada
Name	Limestone and dolomite, locally thick sequences of shale and siltstone
Geologic age	Late Cambrian to Middle Cambrian
Original map label	Cc
Comments	The name Bonanza King Formation is often used for the entire section below the Dunderberg Shale; the formation ranges from 2000 to 4,600 feet thick. In general, the carbonate section thickens from east to west (Longwell and others, 1965). The Carrara Formation ranges from 1,400 to 1,960 feet thick (Cornwall, 1972). The Highland Peak Formation ranges from about 3,000 to at least 6,300 feet thick (Tschanz and Pampeyan, 1970). The Highland Peak Formation may be another name for the Bonanza King Formation.
