Undivided and Metamorphosed Carbonate Shelf Sequence Rocks - Dolomite and limestone
Lower Paleozoic dolomite and limestone present in southeastern Lincoln and Clark Counties are grouped together into unit DCc. The lower Paleozoic section is too thin to map regionally as individual units, and the structure is too complex in these rocks to accurately portray the individual units at this scale. In part of Clark County, these rocks are referred to as the Goodsprings Dolomite. In the Mormon Mountains of Lincoln County, these rocks are overlain by Mississippian carbonate (Mc). In Clark County in the Spring Mountains, they are overlain by the Devonian Sultan Limestone (Dc).
