| Fossils of the Great Blue Formation | Chamberlain A. K. (1981) | Great Blue | The stratigraphy is broken up into sections depending upon the mountains being studied. The Oquirrh Mountain Section was composed of two partial sections (locations above) combined to make a 1010m section. There are three zones of fossiliferous material in this section, each occurring immediately beneath and within a shale unit. Invertebrates that dominated the limestone facies were replaced by plants in the shales. The unfossiliferous limestone immediately above each of the shale units becomes | "shale" | 323.2 - 298.9 Ma Carboniferous |
