Stratigraphy
| Formation: | White Pine Shale | Member: | Joana Limestone | ||
| Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: Name of the formation is in debate (according to this paper). Either Joana Limestone is a member of the White Pine Shale or it is a formation of its own. Eastern NV stratigraphic subcommittee recommended the former. | |||||
