|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Striped Hills, Carrara Fm, Jangle Limestone Mbr., 3690 | Palmer A. R., Halley R. B. (1979) | Carrara - Jangle Limestone | Inasmuch as the faunas of the overlying Desert Range Limestone Member contain abundant representatives of Glossopleura in many sections, the boundary between the Albertella and Glossopleura zones falls at or near the top of the Jangle Limestone Member. | "limestone" | 513 - 501 Ma Cambrian |
| Striped Hills, Carrara Fm, Pahrump Hills Shale Mbr., 4169 | Palmer A. R., Halley R. B. (1979) | Carrara - Pahrump Hills Shale | The Pahrump Hills Shale Member is poorly fossiliferous, but collections from different areas contain elements of both the Zacanthoidid and Albertella-Mexicella Zonules of the Albertella Zone. | mudstone | 513 - 501 Ma Cambrian |
| Striped Hills, Carrara Fm, Red Pass Limestone Mbr., 4432 | Palmer A. R., Halley R. B. (1979) | Carrara - Red Pass Limestone | The lower beds are dominated by trilobites of the Kochaspid Zonule of the "Plagiura-Poliella" Zone. | lime mudstone | 513 - 501 Ma Cambrian |
| Striped Hills, Bonanza King Fm, 7199 | Palmer A. R., Halley R. B. (1979) | Bonanza King | Evidence that the Glossopleura-bear'mg interval in the Carrara Formation is properly designated as the Glossopleura Zonule is provided by an important collection with specimens of Glossopleura from a thin-bedded silty unit about 150 m above the base of the Bonanza King Formation, which overlies the Carrara Formation, in the Striped Hills section, Nevada (pi. 17). | not reported | 541 - 485.4 Ma Cambrian |
| Striped Hills, Carrara Fm, Thimble Limestone Mbr., 3689 | Palmer A. R., Halley R. B. (1979) | Carrara - Thimble Limestone | This member typically has abundant and diverse olenellid trilobites and rare associated ptychopariid trilobites which characterize the Bristolia Zonule. | lime mudstone | 541 - 513 Ma Cambrian |
